Functional decline after severe COVID-19: duke activity status index for preoperative risk assessment
Severe COVID-19 has a lasting impact on functional capacity as measured by DASI. These findings highlight the need for anesthesiologists to include functional assessments in the preoperative evaluation of patients with a history of severe COVID-19. Integrating DASI into routine pre-anesthetic workup may improve risk stratification and perioperative outcomes in this vulnerable population.
