SUMMARY:

Covid-19 is a disease that can affect functional capacities, with respiratory changes, fatigue during activities of daily living and at rest, exercise intolerance and reduced peripheral muscle function, in addition to interfering with aspects related to sleep. In this context, systemic involvement makes it necessary for medium and long-term support from health services after these patients are discharged.

The interest of recent studies in the assessment of quality of life and psychological repercussions after COVID-19 is observed, however on the relationship between sleep parameters and the physical and functional capacities of these individuals after clinical discharge, there is a lack of studies in literature. It is suggested to follow the justification used in the introduction (clinical and pathophysiological aspects of sleep involvement in this process). Thus, we question whether there is an association between sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness with lung function and exercise tolerance in patients after infection with COVID-19. OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness and pulmonary function and tolerance to in individuals after COVID-19 infection. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study, in which individuals over 18 years old who have overcome the acute phase of Covid-19 will be contacted by telephone and invited to participate in the research in the city of Garanhuns. Lung function (by spirometry), exercise tolerance (by the 6-minute step test), the subjective sleep quality (by the Pittsburg sleep quality index) and excessive daytime sleepiness (by the sleepiness scale of Epworth). Data normality will be verified using the Shapiro-Wilk Test. Data will be expressed as mean, standard deviation and confidence interval for those with normal distribution, and as median and interquartile range for those without normal distribution and absolute and relative frequency for categorical variables. According to the data normality distribution, Pearson or Spearman correlation tests will be used to verify the correlation between sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness and pulmonary function and exercise tolerance.

After this analysis, the multiple linear regression test will be performed with the variables that present correlation. For all tests, p values ≤ 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
