Background: The associations between deprivation and illness trajectory after hospitalisation for coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) are uncertain.
Methods: A prospective, multicentre cohort study was conducted on post-COVID-19 patients, enrolled either in-hospital or shortly post-discharge. Two evaluations were carried out: an initial assessment and a follow-up at 28-60 days post-discharge.
Background: We investigated the associations of healthcare worker status with multisystem illness trajectory in hospitalised post-COVID-19 individuals.
Methods And Results: One hundred and sixty-eight patients were evaluated 28-60 days after the last episode of hospital care. Thirty-six (21%) were healthcare workers.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates long-term effects of COVID-19 on patients who were hospitalized, focusing on multisystem involvement and health outcomes over time.
- At 28-60 days post-discharge, COVID-19 patients showed significant issues such as cardio-renal complications, reduced quality of life, increased anxiety and depression, and lower exercise capacity compared to controls.
- Follow-up revealed that a considerable percentage of COVID-19 patients experienced rehospitalization or death, indicating ongoing health challenges that may strain healthcare resources in the future.
Excitons have fundamental impacts on optoelectronic properties of semiconductors. Halide perovskites, with long carrier lifetimes and ionic crystal structures, may support highly mobile excitons because the dipolar nature of excitons suppresses phonon scattering. Inspired by recent experimental progress, we perform device modeling to rigorously analyze exciton formation and transport in methylammonium lead triiodide under local photoexcitation by using a finite element method.
