Clinical data were collected during hospitalisation and at a follow-up visit. Breathlessness was measured by a numeric rating scale of 0\u201310. We defined post-COVID-19 breathlessness as an increase in score of \u22651 compared to the pre-COVID-19 level. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify risk factors and to develop a prediction model for post-COVID-19 breathlessness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included 1226\u2005participants (37% female, median age 59\u2005years, 22% mechanically ventilated). At a median 5\u2005months after discharge, 50% reported post-COVID-19 breathlessness. Risk factors for post-COVID-19 breathlessness were socioeconomic deprivation (adjusted OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.14\u20132.44), pre-existing depression\/anxiety (adjusted OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.06\u20132.35), female sex (adjusted OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.21\u20132.00) and admission duration (adjusted OR 1.01, 95% CI 1.00\u20131.02). Black ethnicity (adjusted OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.35\u20130.89) and older age groups (adjusted OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.14\u20130.66) were less likely to report post-COVID-19 breathlessness. Post-COVID-19 breathlessness was associated with worse performance on the shuttle walk test and forced vital capacity, but not with obstructive airflow limitation. The prediction model had fair discrimination (concordance statistic 0.66, 95% CI 0.63\u20130.69) and good calibration (calibration slope 1.00, 95% CI
