Abstract
<h3>Introduction</h3> University Hospitals Leicester NHS Trust (UHL) in partnership with NHS England worked in collaboration with professional societies, charities and healthcare professionals (HCPs) nationwide to launch the Your COVID Recovery<b><sup>®</sup></b> website (www.yourcovidrecovery.nhs.uk). This site offers information on living with and recovering from the physical and psychological effects of COVID-19. The site has information on the commonly reported post COVID symptoms<sup>1</sup> and was launched in July 2020. The aim was to evaluate website usage and the knowledge seeking behaviour of its readers. <h3>Method</h3> The first one million users were analysed using Google Analytics from July 2020 to February 2021, reporting on overall site usage, content page views and length of time spent on the pages. The top three content pages were recorded each month. <h3>Results</h3> To reach one million users took seven months, with over 700,000 of these users viewing the site from December 2020 to February 2021. Retrieval of content data (figure 1) shows that Fatigue was the most viewed page (225,511) followed by Musculoskeletal Shoulder and Back Pain (MSK) (212,312) and Cough (184,178). Fatigue consistently featured every month, whereas Musculoskeletal Shoulder and Back Pain and Cough did not feature until October 2020 and November 2020 respectively. Breathlessness and Family, Friends and Carers featured in the top three positions for the first four months but not subsequently. Of the highest viewed content pages, average length of time spent on an individual page was reported to show Fatigue at 02mins12sec, Musculoskeletal Shoulder and Back Pain at 03mins05sec and Cough at 03min35sec. <h3>Conclusion</h3> The data highlights the desire for knowledge on symptom management of COVID-19 with areas of specific interest showing some change during the data collection period. This may reflect the progression or change in symptoms and fluctuating COVID-19 cases nationally. It may also provide HCP’s an important insight into the recovery of patients with COVID-19. The average length of time spent on the most viewed pages is high, showing good interaction by the reader and again highlights the desire for knowledge. <h3>Reference</h3> Physical, cognitive and mental health impacts of COVID-19 following hospitalisation – a multi-centre prospective cohort study PHOSP-COVID Collaborative Group. <i>medRxiv</i> 2021.03.22.21254057. doi:https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.22.21254057
