Zusammenfassung:	BackgroundAfter an acute infection, older persons may benefit from geriatric rehabilitation (GR).ObjectivesThis study describes the recovery trajectories of post-COVID-19 patients undergoing GR and explores whether frailty is associated with recovery.DesignMulticentre prospective cohort study.Setting59 GR facilities in 10 European countries.ParticipantsPost-COVID-19 patients admitted to GR between October 2020 and October 2021.MethodsPatients’ characteristics, daily functioning (Barthel index; BI), quality of life (QoL; EQ-5D-5L) and frailty (Clinical Frailty Scale; CFS) were collected at admission, discharge, 6 weeks and 6 months after discharge. We used linear mixed models to examine the trajectories of daily functioning and QoL.Results723 participants were included with a mean age of 75 (SD: 9.91) years. Most participants were pre-frail to frail (median [interquartile range] CFS 6.0 [5.0–7.0]) at admission. After admission, the BI first steeply increased from 11.31 with 2.51 (SE 0.15, P
