Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the long-term health outcomes of COVID-19 patients at a NYC medical center, focusing on healthcare usage, symptoms, and patient well-being at 3 and 6 months post-hospitalization.
- Out of 1190 initial patients, 929 survived, with many experiencing persistent symptoms like dyspnoea and other health issues during follow-up visits dominated by telehealth.
- The findings revealed significant ongoing health challenges for survivors, particularly those with severe cases, who reported reduced mobility and independence after 6 months.
Background: Patients with COVID-19 may be at increased risk for secondary bacterial infections with MDR pathogens, including carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE).
Objectives: We sought to rapidly investigate the clinical characteristics, population structure and mechanisms of resistance of CPE causing secondary infections in patients with COVID-19.
Methods: We retrospectively identified CPE clinical isolates collected from patients testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 between March and April 2020 at our medical centre in New York City.
