| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
After recovery from acute phase of the COVID-19, some patients suffer from persistent/late-onset complications. The main objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of suchcomplications in a large scale of COVID-19 patients in Tehran, Iran.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, those patients who called Tehran emergency medical servicescenter and were visited by the emergency medical technicians from 20 March 2020 until 21 September2020 and diagnosed as a confirmed COVID-19 case were enrolled. The minimum required samplesize was estimated 385 cases, and they were selected randomly. The patients were interviewed byphone at least 4 weeks since initiation of their symptoms. Using a pre-prepared checklist, made byan expert panel who were involved in management of COVID-19 patients, data were collected on thetypes and duration of the complications, clinical information, and factors which could interfere withdeveloping the complications. All analyses were performed using STATA 16 software. The associationof the prevalence of each complication with independent factor was assessed using Chi-square test (orFisher’s exact test) for categorical variable, and the mean difference of numerical variables in the twogroups (with and without complication) was assessed using independent t-test. Statistical significancewas accepted at P value< 0.05.Results: Four-hundred forty-seven patients participated in the study. Among our total population, 345(77.2%) patients experienced at least one of the persistent/late-onset complications. Cardiopulmonaryand then skin-related symptom categories were reported in 179 (40.0%) and 173 (38.7%) patients,respectively, and were the most prevalent persistent/late-onset complications. The associations of longterm persistent/late-onset complications with older ages (P=0.04), female (p < 0.001), psychologicalstress (P=0.01), and inadequate rest after illness (p < 0.001) were significant.Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that a significant number of patients will experiencepersistent/late-onset complications, both physically and mentally, after recovering from acute phaseof COVID-19. Thus, physicians should have adequate resources and support to care for the patients tohelp them cope with the condition. |
