Abstract

Aim: To describe selection criteria for referral to geriatric rehabilitation, care provided, and recovery trajectories of post-COVID-19 patients referred to geriatric rehabilitation in Europe. Findings: In the ten participating countries, patients showed recovery in daily functioning and quality of life, albeit at variable rates. This variation in recovery rates was accompanied by variation in geriatric rehabilitation selection criteria, patient characteristics, and provided rehabilitation care. Message: The heterogeneity in recovery of post-COVID-19 patients admitted to geriatric rehabilitation, selection criteria, and organization of geriatric rehabilitation care highlights the need for harmonization of measurements in geriatric rehabilitation in order to perform explanatory research and optimize geriatric rehabilitation throughout Europe.
