ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: SARS-CoV-2 has defined our everyday lives over the past three years and by constituting a serious risk factor for patients with pre-existing respiratory illnesses, it placed an unexpected burden on the health care systems worldwide. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore the association between COVID-19 and pre-existing respiratory comorbidities such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. METHOD: In our current study, we retrospectively processed the data of nearly 29 000 Hungarian patients. RESULTS: We found that COPD was directly associated with the severity of COVID-19 and slightly increased the risk of intensive care unit admission and the need for mechanical ventilation during the SARS-CoV-2 infection. On the other hand, the presence of asthma influenced neither the severity of COVID-19 nor the need for intensive care unit admission or mechanical ventilation significantly. DISCUSSION: International studies suggest that COPD does not significantly increase the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, the likelihood of hospitalization due to COVID-19 is much higher in COPD patients and the presence of COPD is associated with a more severe disease course. Given the structural alterations and abnormal regeneration processes of the airways that occur during lung injury in COPD patients, these individuals require increased attention and personalized rehabilitation protocols after the onset of the viral infection. CONCLUSION: Altogether, the assessment of clinical manifestations associated with different COPD phenotypes (as well as other chronic lung diseases) and SARS-CoV-2 infection is essential for the implementation of personalized therapeutic approach in the future.

ABSTRACT

Összefoglaló. A COVID-19-fertozésen átesett betegek közül többen elhúzódó panaszokról számolnak be a felépülést követoen, sokaknál tartósan fennáll a köhögés, a nehézlégzés, a mellkasi fájdalom, a légszomj attól függetlenül, hogy enyhe vagy súlyosabb tüneteket okozott a koronavírus. A betegek erotlennek érzik magukat, eros fáradtságérzetre panaszkodnak, míg mások gyomor-bél rendszeri panaszokra, fejfájásra, depresszióra, a szaglás- és ízérzékelés elvesztésére. Számtalan kutatás leírja, hogy a fertozés még akár hónapokkal késobb is hatással lehet a tüdo muködésére, és korábban egészséges tüdon is látható a koronavírus-fertozés a gyógyulás után három hónappal készült kontroll-mellkas-CT-leleten. Éppen ezért szükség van a fertozés lezajlását követoen tüdogyógyászati kivizsgálásra, ha a betegnek elhúzódó panaszai vannak, vagy ha a betegség tüdogyulladást okozott. Szükség van a jelenleg muködo fekvobeteg-légzoszervi rehabilitáció mellett a kezelés ambuláns kiterjesztésére is, melynek célja újabb kórházi ápolás nélkül a teljes gyógyulás elérése a betegeknél. A COVID-19-fertozésen átesett betegeknél a komplex rehabilitáció hatására javul a terhelhetoség, az életminoség, javulnak a légzésfunkciós értékek, csökkennek a panaszok, javul a betegek fizikai és pszichikai állapota. Összefoglaló kutatásunk célja áttekinteni, hogy milyen COVID-19 ambuláns rehabilitációs programok indultak el a koronavírus-fertozésen átesett betegek esetében nemzetközi és hazai színtereken. Orv Hetil. 22021; 162(42): 1671-1677. Summary. Several patients with COVID-19 infection report prolonged complaints after recovery and many of them suffer from persistent cough, dyspnea, chest pain and shortness of breath regardless of whether the coronavirus caused mild or more severe symptoms. They complain of severe fatigue and weakness while others grizzle about gastrointestinal complaints, headache, depression, loss of sense of smell and taste. Numerous studies describe that the infection can affect lung function even in months and coronavirus infection can be detectable in previously healthy lungs by taking a control chest CT scan three months after recovery. Therefore, chest follow-up is required after the infection if the patient has prolonged complaints or if the disease has caused pneumonia. In addition to the currently operating inpatient respiratory rehabilitation, there is also a need for an outpatient extension of treatment to achieve complete recovery in patients without further hospitalization. For those patients who have had the COVID-19 infection complex rehabilitation can improve their workload, quality of life, improves their respiratory function values, reduces their complaints and also improves their physical and mental condition. The aim of our summary research is to review what COVID-19 outpatient rehabilitation programs have been initiated for patients who went through coronavirus infection on international and domestic scenes.
