Main Predictors of Decreasing in Quality of Life in Patients With Post-COVID-19: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: We aimed to assess physical and psychosomatic manifestations of patients with long COVID and their association with a decreased patient's quality of life (QOL) or different times elapsed since the COVID-19 diagnosis.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. We retrospectively collected the clinical characteristics of adult patients who had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and had symptoms at least as early as 4 weeks after COVID-19 in México City between April 2020 and February 2021.

Outpatient prescription patterns of COVID-19 drugs in the metropolitan area of Mexico City.

Background: We aimed to describe the use of drugs with apparent efficacy in ambulatory patients with confirmed COVID-19 and the relationship of Google Trends searches with prescriptions and the total number of COVID-19 cases in Mexico City.

Methods: Between March 2020 and February 2021, we surveyed 350 patients confirmed to have COVID-19 across 3 hospitals in Mexico City for their ambulatory prescriptions. We analysed the correlation between prescription patterns of 4 drugs with apparent efficacy against COVID-19, Google Trends searches for these drugs, and the overall number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Mexico City.
