The effect of covid-19

There is a case of COVID-19 which is bad enough to take you to the hospital.

A new study suggests that difficulties do not end when COVID-19 patients exit the hospital. 

Within two months of hospital discharge, approximately 7% of patients died in the study, with more than 10% of patients being treated in the intensive care unit. Fifteen percent went to the hospital. More than 1,250 patients are being treated at 38 hospitals in Michigan this spring and summer, while it was one of the first peaks experienced in state affairs.

When the researchers telephoned 488 surviving patients about 60 days after admission, they heard a dire link between health and life. The results of the survey will be displayed in the annual internal medicine report. "These data suggest that the burden of COVID-19 exceeds hospitality and healthcare," said Vineet Chopra, lead author at Michigan Medical Hospital, the center of the University of Michigan School of Medicine. I will. "The mental, financial and physical sacrifice of this disease to the survivors seems overwhelming."

More than 39% of the patients interviewed said that they had not yet returned to their normal activities two months after discharge. Twelve percent of the patients said they couldn't provide primary care on their own or even earlier. Almost 23% said they gasped just walking up the ladder. One third of ongoing symptoms like COVID include many symptoms that still have taste and odor issues.

More than 39% of patients surveyed said they had not returned to their normal activities two months after discharge. Twelve percent of patients say they cannot afford basic care alone or sooner. About 23% said they blew the wind when they climbed the ladder. One-third of persistent symptoms, such as COVID, include many symptoms that still have taste and odor problems.

Medical patient files and details of extensive interviews that have been conducted after multiple telephone contacts with patients give a picture of what patients' lives are like after COVID. About 52% of patients in the study were black and 4% Hispanic American. The median age was 62 years and 83% lived at home before being hospitalized in COVID-19. More than 14% had no chronic illnesses before Covid-19 took them to the hospital, and for many, the only condition they had was high blood pressure. About a quarter of patients are aware of the risk factors for diabetes, heart disease and / or kidney disease. Hospital care for 19 patients has improved since the first few months of the epidemic, with studies showing that ever 63% of patients treated in the intensive care unit died during their hospital stay or within two months of leaving the hospital. . It is more than double the rate for hospitalized patients but not admitted to the intensive care unit.
