Article Synopsis
- Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) affects around 50% of patients, leading to a variety of symptoms that may persist for up to a year after infection.
- Researchers conducted a study with 242 hospitalized COVID-19 patients to categorize symptoms and identify effective treatment strategies using cluster analysis and logistic regression.
- Three distinct symptom groups emerged: Cluster1 (few symptoms), Cluster2 (many symptoms with high anxiety/depression), and Cluster3 (breathing and cognitive issues), with Cluster2 requiring the most interventions and showing the worst outcomes.
Background: Although patients with acute optic neuritis (ON) recover high-contrast visual acuity (HCVA) to 20/40 or better in 95% of affected eyes, patients with a history of ON continue to note subjective abnormalities of vision. Furthermore, substantial and permanent thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and the ganglion cell layer (GCL) is now known to occur early in the course of ON. We measured vision-specific quality of life (QOL) in patients with a history of acute ON and recovery of VA to 20/40 or better in their affected eyes to determine how these QOL scores relate to RNFL and GCL thickness and low-contrast letter acuity (LCLA) across the spectrum of visual recovery.
