In this blog we will look at a study that describes the post COVID-19 conditions.
Number of patients that participated in the study: 143 .
Worsened quality of life was observed among 44.1% of patients, 60 days after first COVID-19 symptoms. None of the patients had fever or any signs or symptoms of acute illness.
1. The mean age was 56.5 (SD, 14.6) years (range, 19-84 years), and 53 (37%) were women.
2. During hospitalization, percentage of participants had evidence of interstitial pneumonia: 72.7%
3. The mean length of hospital stay was 13.5 (SD, 9.7) days; 21 patients (15%) received noninvasive ventilation and 7 patients (5%) received invasive ventilation.
Patients were evaluated after a mean of 60.3 (SD, 13.6) days after onset of the first COVID-19 symptom;
Evaluations results: Only 18 (12.6%) were completely free of any COVID-19–related symptom, while 32% had 1 or 2 symptoms and 55% had 3 or more. Fatigue was the most common symptom.
Big question: It is important to find out how SARSCoV-2 interferes with body’s energy production mechanism.
