Change in Activity Measure for Post Acute Care (AM-PAC) Basic Mobility Inpatient Version |
The AM-PAC is an activity limitation instrument based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) that assesses 3 functional domains: basic mobility, daily activities and applied cognition. |
Admission to hospital ward (0-14 days post ward admission) and discharge from hospital (0-14 days post discharge or up to 6 months, whichever comes first) |

Change in Activity Measure for Post Acute Care (AM-PAC) Basic Mobility Outpatient Version |
The AM-PAC is an activity limitation instrument based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) that assesses 3 functional domains: basic mobility, daily activities and applied cognition. |
Admission to hospital ward (0-14 days post ward admission, to capture pre-morbid function), and at 3,6,9 and 12-months post hospital discharge |
|
| Primary |
Change in Activity Measure for Post Acute Care (AM-PAC) Applied Cognitive Inpatient Version |
The AM-PAC is an activity limitation instrument based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) that assesses 3 functional domains: basic mobility, daily activities and applied cognition. |
Admission to hospital ward (0-14 days post ward admission) and discharge from hospital (0-14 days post discharge or up to 6 months, whichever comes first) |

Change in Activity Measure for Post Acute Care (AM-PAC) Daily Activity |
The AM-PAC is an activity limitation instrument based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) that assesses 3 functional domains: basic mobility, daily activities and applied cognition. |

| Secondary |
Change in Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) |
The SPPB combines the results of gait speed over 3 meters, the 5-repetition chair-stand, and a progressive balance test to assess lower extremity function. |

| Secondary |
Change in Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) for participants over 60 years of age |
The CFS is an interview-based scale wherein the assessor may ask the participant questions about things such as a participant's independence or physical abilities to determine where the participant falls along the 9-point scale, from 1 (Very Fit) to 9 (Terminally Ill). |
Admission to hospital ward (0-14 days post ward admission, to capture pre-morbid function ), and at 3,6,9 and 12-months post hospital discharge |
|
| Secondary |
Change in Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) |
The Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second parameter measures the volume of air that was exhaled into the mouthpiece in the first second after a full inhalation as measured by spirometry. |
3,6,9 and 12-months post hospital discharge |
|
| Secondary |
Change in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) |
The amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from a participant's lungs after taking the deepest breath possible, as measured by spirometry. FVC is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test. |
3,6,9 and 12-months post hospital discharge |
|
| Secondary |
Change in Forced Expiratory Volume Percentage (FEV1%) |
The FEV1/FVC Ratio (FEV1%) parameter is calculated by dividing the measured FEV1 value by the measured FVC value. |
3,6,9 and 12-months post hospital discharge |
|
| Secondary |
Change in Functional Independence Measure (FIM) |
The FIM assesses the functional status of a person based on the level of assistance the person requires. |
3 and 6 months post hospital discharge |
|
| Secondary |
Change in Impact of Event Scale - Revised (IES-R) |
The IES-R is a 22-item self-report measure that asks questions about subjective distress caused by traumatic events. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale, from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("extremely"). |
3,6,9 and 12-months post hospital discharge |
|
| Secondary |
Change in Health status (EQ-5D-5L) |
The EQ-5D-5L is a generic and well-established instrument for describing health status or disease-specific outcome measures. It defines health in terms of five dimensions: Mobility, Self- Care, Usual Activities, Pain/Discomfort, and Anxiety/ Depression. The response options are of five levels, from no, slight, moderate, severe, to extreme problems |

| Secondary |
Change in Post-COVID-19 Functional Status Scale (PCFSS) |
Developed in early 2020, this 5-point scale assesses how individuals have been affected in a participant's everyday life by COVID-19 illness and recovery. Lower grades indicate better functioning, with grade 0 representing the absence of symptoms or functional limitations and grade 4 reflecting severe limitations and symptom burden. The PCFSS can be patient-reported following a flow diagram series of questions to result in a grade, or it can be administered via structured interview, which is more comprehensive. The research team will conduct the structured interview over the phone and the patient-reported flow chart during the home visits. |

| Secondary |
Change in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) |
The HADS is a 14-item two-dimension scale that identifies depression and anxiety among physically ill patients. Scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating higher levels of anxiety. In the general ill population, a cut-off of =8 indicates depression. |
3,6,9 and 12-months post hospital discharge |
|
| Secondary |
Change in Fatigue Visual Analog Scale (Fatigue VAS) |
This visual scale allows individuals to rate a participant's global fatigue from 0 (worst fatigue) to 10 (normal). |

|
| Secondary |
Change in Modified Medical Research Council (MRC) Breathlessness Scale |
This brief questionnaire contains five statements describing a range of breathlessness from only becoming breathless with strenuous exercise to being too breathless to leave the house. |
3,6,9 and 12-months post hospital discharge |
|
| Secondary |
Change in Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) |
Oxygen saturation will be measured using a fingertip pulse oximeter to detect hypoxia and to evaluate any persistent hypoxia post-COVID-19 illness. |
