ABSTRACT
Background:
Facing a severe life-threatening disease has physical and emotional consequences for patients.Aim:
To evaluate the physical and emotional sequelae in patients who survived COVID-19 pneumonia. Material andMethods:
This cross-sectional study collected data from post-COVID-19 pneumonia patients admitted to an outpatient follow-up program in a public hospital in Chile. One month after hospital discharge, the evaluation of physical capacity was carried out through the 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1STST). In addition, the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale were applied.Results:
We included 70 patients aged 63 ± 13 years (54% women). Eighty-five percent of the patients were able to execute the 1STST with an average of 20.6 ± 4.8 repetitions. Forty-eight percent of the patients had a performance below the 2.5th percentile according to the reference values and 28% of patients had exertional desaturation. The CFS classified as mildly vulnerable or with some degree of frailty to 33% of patients. Twenty-five percent of the patients presented symptoms of depression and 33% of anxiety.Conclusions:
Patients who survived COVID-19 have a decrease in physical capacity and a significant proportion of depression and anxiety one month after hospital discharge.Palabras clave
