description | OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to evaluate post-acute symptoms in patients with confirmed severe and critical coronavirus disease 2019 infections. METHODS: We evaluated patients with confirmed severe and critical coronavirus disease 2019 infections. Post-acute symptoms were defined as symptoms persisting 4 weeks after the onset of the symptoms and classified as pulmonary, muscular, hematologic, neuropsychiatric, renal, and dermatological. RESULTS: We recovered data from 565 patients (43.7% female) with a mean age of 61.1 years. In 18.2%, at least one hospital readmission was necessary and 11.1% died. In 62.6%, there was at least one persistent symptom, and 28.8% had more than one. Among associated factors, obesity, intensive care support, and mechanical ventilation were related to persistent symptoms. CONCLUSION: The most prevalent symptoms were pulmonary and neuropsychiatric sequelae, as reported in previous studies. This finding underscores the severity of the coronavirus disease 2019 infection and the need for follow-up after recovery from the initial illness. Obese patients, those requiring mechanical ventilation, female patients, and increased hospital length are at greater chance of having persistent symptoms. |
