Characterising the long-term clinical outcomes of 1190 hospitalised patients with COVID-19 in New York City: a retrospective case series

Study (n=364) notes that patients hospitalised with SARS-CoV-2 infection reported persistent symptoms up to 6 months after diagnosis, with cardiopulmonary symptoms (28%), especially dyspnoea (15.9%), the most common reported symptoms

SPS commentary:

It was also noted that a large number of patients reported generalised (26.4%) or neuropsychiatric (24.2%) symptoms 6 months after hospitalisation. Patients with severe COVID-19 were more likely to have reduced mobility, reduced independence or a new dialysis requirement in the 6 months after hospitalisation.
