Article Synopsis
- Survivors of COVID-19 can develop post-covid pulmonary fibrosis (PCF) and experience long-term complications, including respiratory problems and psychological issues.
- A study assessed patients six weeks after hospital discharge to identify the prevalence of PCF and other symptoms, finding that many reported fatigue (45.1%), breathlessness (36.5%), and myalgia (20.5%).
- Factors associated with PCF included severe COVID-19 symptoms, male gender, high inflammation markers, and the need for ventilation during hospitalization; thus, patients with these risk factors should be monitored closely post-discharge.
