*3.4. Factors Affecting the Number of Consultations after Recovery from COVID-19*

Multivariate forward-selection logistic regression analysis was conducted using relevant demographic and clinical characteristics as independent variables to identify factors that led to a requirement for two or more consultations with a doctor. Those with reconfirmed COVID-19 (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 6.703), had more physical symptoms after quarantine (aOR: 1.558), felt depressed (aOR: 1.668 for mild depression, 1.922 for moderate depression), or felt psychological stress (aOR: 1.418 for rarely stressed, 2.029 for frequently stressed); and required more consultations (Table 3).
