Many survivors of severe or critical COVID-19 have required rehabilitation during the pandemic. The primary objective was to compare characteristics and outcomes of survivors of severe or critical COVID-19 admitted to the inpatient rehabilitation facility during the first two waves of the pandemic. Our secondary objective was to identify the factors contributing to functional dependence on admission, discharge, and length of stay.
