The post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) infection have caused a significant impact on our health system, but there is limited evidence approved drugs focused its prevention. Our objective was to identify risk factors that can determine the presence PASC, with special attention treatment received in acute phase, and describe profile persistent symptoms multidisciplinary Post-Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) Unit.
<b>Background:</b> Persisting symptoms after SARS-COV-2 infection (COVID-19) have been widely reported in patients with critical disease, but also those mild or moderate illness. Our objective was to describe clinical characteristics, and the impact of treatment received acute phase a cohort postCOVID-19 at one-year follow-up according their severity. <b>Methods:</b> Outpatients ongoing that required hospitalization were visited Post-COVID Unit from March 2020 June 2021. A standardized...
La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) es la patología respiratoria que causa mayor morbimortalidad a nivel mundial. Los parámetros de función y las manifestaciones sistémicas se han definido como factores pronósticos, sin embargo, presentan limitaciones. El objetivo ha sido analizar si fuerza muscular inspiratoria sería un reflejo insuflación y, por tanto, factor pronóstico los pacientes con EPOC. Se seleccionaron EPOC realizaron previamente una valoración no invasiva prueba...
<b>Introduction:</b> A high number of patients have respiratory symptoms after SARS-CoV2 infection. In some cases, interstitial lung abnormalities are identified in the follow-up with resolution thoracic CT scans (HRCT). Severity acute infection could be associated to presence these abnormalities. <b>Methods:</b> Clinical, radiological, functional and exercise capacity data were prospectively collected from confirmed visited Post-COVID Unit June December 2020. This population included...
<b>Introduction:</b> After SARS-CoV2 infection, some patients have dyspnea and leg fatigue. Exercise capacity evaluation with the 6-meter walking test (6MWT) or incremental shuttle (IST) can be useful to identify potential abnormalities in these patients. <b>Methods:</b> Subjects persistent symptoms were recruited from Post-COVID Unit. Chest X-ray, pulmonary function tests (PFTs), 6MWT IST performed. A thoracic high-resolution CT scan (HRCT) was performed if detected persisted during...
