RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the structure of postcovid syndrome, age and gender characteristics of its course, and to assess the effect of Cytoflavin on the clinical course of neurological disorders in patients who have undergone COVID-19. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 100 patients, the average age was 40.4±11.7 years, there were statistically more men than women. The duration of the transferred SARS-CoV-2 days is from 30 to 90 days from the date of recovery). By random sampling, the patients were divided into two groups, the main group, received Cytoflavin tablets, a course of 25 days, 2 tablets 2 times a day. Comparison group - other drugs (vitamins, nootropic drugs). All patients were examined on the day of treatment and 25-30 days after the end of therapy. The status was assessed using Asthenia Assessment Scale (MFI-20), Brief Mental Status Assessment Scale (MMSE), Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (EQ-5D), General Health Assessment Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The analysis of laboratory parameters was carried out retrospectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Postcovid syndrome was more common in men, among comorbid conditions arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis prevailed, neurocognitive and autonomic disorders predominated. Appointment of Cytoflavin made it possible to achieve a pronounced anti-asthenic effect with the correction of cognitive impairments, which was reflected in a significantly more significant positive dynamics of indicators of all scales. An additional effect of Cytoflavin was revealed - a decrease in the severity of thrombocytopenia. During the observation period, no patient had any serious adverse events or side effects associated with taking the drug. Prescription of the drug does not require age-related dose adjustment and is well combined with basic therapy for concomitant pathology.
