The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound and far-reaching impact on global health, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality across populations. Long term post COVID-19 conditions can include neurological symptoms, chronic fatigue, and mental health disorders, which collectively contribute to a deterioration in health-related quality of life. This study aims assess long-term HRQoL using EuroQol (EQ 5D 5L) among COVID-19 patients in community settings. This study conducted a multicentric, community-based cross-sectional design to assess the long-term HRQoL among patients who have recovered from COVID-19. The study included participants aged above 18 years from two cities Delhi and Bhubaneswar. Descriptive statistics of categorical variables were presented in frequency and percentage, while continuous variables were presented in mean ± SD. The censored regression analysis has been performed by reporting beta coefficients and significance by (p < 0.05). The EQ-5D-5L index scores indicated a mean of 0.89 (95% CI 0.87, 0.91) for Delhi, compared to a lower mean score of 0.66 (95% CI 0.62, 0.71) for Bhubaneswar. Age was negatively correlated with health states, showing a crude coefficient of - 0.003 (95% CI - 0.005, 0.001) with a significant p value of 0.002, although the adjusted coefficient was - 0.002 (95% CI - 0.005, 0.001), indicating a loss of significance when controlling for other factors. The emphasizes the health-related quality of life of the COVID-19 recovered patients and challenges in their daily living. The study descriptively highlighting the quality-of-life and in association with age, educational status, marital status, health insurance availability, and treatment setting.
