Post Discharge Persistent Symptoms and Health Related Concerns
After patients who have been discharged from the hospital after having COVID-19, studies have been done to see the short term and long term outcomes of having the infectious disease. Studies found that after 110.9 days of 279 patients being discharged, persistent symptoms were found. Symptoms included: fatigue (55%), dyspnoea (42%), loss of memory (34%), concentration and sleep disorders (30%). Loss of hair was reported by 24 (20%) patients, including 20 women and 4 men. Comparisons between ward- and ICU patients led to no statistically significant differences regarding those symptoms.
