Understanding the severity and complexity of functional outcomes following inpatient rehabilitation for COVID-19 active and/or recovered needs further exploration and analyzation in comparison to other rehabilitation populations. This symposium will provide an analysis of COVID-19 patients treated within four different geographic regions across the United States during the inpatient rehabilitation phase of recovery. This information will provide important evidence on demographic and functional outcomes to guide inpatient rehabilitation facilities across a wide range of populations and geographic locations.

Learning Objectives:

To examine the effect of patient characteristics such as: age, gender, race, ethnicity, marital status and geographic location on patients who have active/recovered COVID-19 and are admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation facility compared to the general rehabilitation outcomes
Explore the rehabilitation diagnostic distribution and outcomes of patients with active/recovered COVID-19 including challenges and opportunities in the inpatient rehabilitation phase of recovery.
To investigate rehabilitation trajectories (no improvement, some improvement, and significant improvement) on the self-care and mobility functional outcomes for the COVID-19 recovered population versus general rehabilitation population.
To understand the demographic and functional difference amongst general rehabilitation diagnostic groups stratified by COVID-19 status (i.e positive, recovery or negative).
