The long‐term impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome on pulmonary function, exercise capacity and health status

Background and objective:  Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) emerged in 2003 and its long‐term sequelae remain largely unclear. This study examined the long‐term outcome of pulmonary function, exercise capacity, health and work status among SARS survivors.
