Three months after COVID-19 pneumonia, DLCO was still decreased in the more severely affected patients, with an incomplete recovery after 6 months. At 3 months QoL was impaired. At 6 months, while "physical functioning" improved, a decrease in "non-physical" QoL was observed but did not differ between the moderate and severely affected patients.
