A study published in the journal Lancet Respiratory Medicine Only a small proportion of patients hospitalized on 23 April Covid-19 after a year he manages to completely get rid of the disease.

In the study of 2,000 patients followed up after being discharged from the hospital for Covid-19, only a quarter felt completely well after a one-year hospital stay.

The most common long-term symptoms that characterize “long covid” are: fatigue, muscle aches, physical lethargy, insomnia and shortness of breath.

when it comes less likely to feel completely free of symptomsin a year, the authors found that patients who were mechanically ventilated in hospital were 58% less likely; obese, 50%; and females are 32% less likely.

How was the long-term covid research done?

The research, led by a team from the Center for Biomedical Research at the National Institute of Health at the University of Leicester in England, worked with data from the PHOSP-COVID post-hospitalization study, which followed discharged adults from hospital in England. Sampling included Patients from 39 National Health Service (NHS) hospitals, in evaluations made five months and one year after discharge.

In total, there were 2,320 attendees who left the hospital between March 7, 2020, and April 18, 2021. While the study is still ongoing, 807 (33%) volunteers completed both visits at the time of analysis.

main results

The main conclusion of the study is that there is an urgent need to support “this large and growing patient population with a significant symptom burden, including reduced exercise capacity and large reductions in health-related quality of life one year after hospital discharge.” .

The study suggests investigating treatment strategies for long-term covid with a medical approach that can direct treatment to the relevant phenotype and improve the patient’s quality of life.
