Hence, in this study, we undertook to ascertain systematically the quality of life and psychological well-being of SARS survivors 3 months' postdischarge from the acute episode. The responders and the nonresponders were comparable on demographic parameters, duration of hospital stay, preillness health status, as well as the proportion of patients admitted to the intensive care unit ( Table 2 ). The health care workers appeared to be more adversely affected than nonstaff based on both the HRQol SF-36 scores (Fig. 1 , see staff-SARS) and the mean scores for IES, and the HADS Depression and Anxiety scores, although these were not significant.	./cache/cord-261750-6b1y7yxg.txt	./txt/cord-261750-6b1y7yxg.txt
