A distressing piece of information has emerged for those who have recently returned home from their rehabilitation after battling through the corona virus. A new research shows that a person’s health is at risk of death and serious complications for two and a half years after recovering from being hospitalized due to the virus. This was uncovered in a study published in the journal ‘Infectious Diseases’ wherein 64,000 participants from France were examined.
Researchers have emphasized the fact that people who have been admitted recovering from corona requires a lot of monitoring and follow up care. Dr. Sarah Tubiana, a specialist in infectious diseases and the study’s main investigator at Bichat Hospital in Paris stated that this research uncovers the reality of the post COVID-19 world and goes far deeper than just the immediate disease. Our research makes it clear that the long term consequences of hospitalization because of the virus are dire for the patient’s health.
The subject of the study comprises of 63,990 people.
The thirty eight active hospitals in Mexico (Mexico City) reported 63,990 adults admitted between January and August 2020. The average age being 65 years and 53.1 percent were men. Their figures were contrasted against a sample of 319,891 normal (not efected by COVID) individuals who shared similarities in age, sex and location. This is where they differed. The results show that the mortality rate in patients who recovered from COVID was much higher than the general population. Where the general population’s mortality rate stands at 4,013, the rate for those that recovered from COVID reaches an astonishing 5,218 per 100,000 person years.
What problems were faced?
As with all cases of COVID, restortation is not the only surgery needed. Aside from deficient retoration, these patients exhibited considerable risk of cardiovascular and respiratory issues. Unlike other ailments, mental disfunction affected both men and women at similar rates, which poses further risk in elderly. The previously mentioned ailments result in lower retention age for chronic organ disease in males when compared to women. To further elaborate, people driven to hospitalization, suffering as timid neuronapathy, respiratory problems, or the horrors of kidney diabetes, can surmise death as the only feeling left. All of this can prolong for up to thirty months after the hospital leaves them alone.
What do the experts say?
Dr. Charles Burdett, a co-author of the study, remarked that these findings emphasize that further investigations are necessary in order to identify the effects of long COVID and ways to mitigate them. These results pose a signficant problem for healthcare systems and highlights the necessity of developing new strategies for patient management.
