Brief summary
In our hospital's Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology service, patients who have been hospitalized due to Covid -19 infection have a musculoskeletal pain and headache during this process, and 466 patients will be recruited to compare them with the pre-disease state of the patients and to evaluate the pain status of the patients after treatment.
Detailed description
This retrospectively designed study was carried out by analyzing SARS-CoV-2 infected and hospitalized patients in our hospital for 2 month. The patients, whose contact information can be accessed from the hospital records, will be called by phone and pain inquiries were made during the SARS-CoV-2 infection process. In addition, patients' demographic data, living conditions (number and characteristics of the person in the household), comorbidities, symptom inquiry related to infection, duration of symptoms, length of hospitalstay, pre-infection pain conditions and current pain, anxiety, depression levels and quality of life will be questioned. The pain questioning include the painful body region/s, severity (Numeric Rating Scale), type of analgesic drugs used, and duration of use that occurred during infection. Anxiety and depression levels will be evaluated, hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), and quality of life will be evaluated with SF-12 health assessment questionnaire.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric Rating Scale for Pain | up to 10 weeks | Evaluation of severity of pain for head, back-neck and extremities by Numeric Rating Scale. Scoring will be done between 0 minimum and 10 maximum values. Higher scores mean worse outcome. |
| Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) | up to 10 weeks | Evaluation of patient's anxiety and depression level in hospital by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a 14-item self-report screening scale. It contains two 7-item scales: one for anxiety and one for depression both with a score range of 0-21. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. |
| SF-12 Health assesment Questionaire | up to 10 weeks | Evaluation of patient's quality of life by SF-12 Health assesment Questionaire. Two summary scores are reported from the SF-12 - a mental component score (MCS-12) and a physical component score (PCS-12). The scores may be reported as Z-scores (difference compared to the population average, measured in standard deviations). Higher scores mean a better outcome. |
