Abstract

Introduction

Several studies mentioned parenchymal findings after SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, but few studies have mentioned alterations in the airways. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of tracheomalacia and to analyse the clinical characteristics in a cohort of patients with SARS-CoV-2.

Methods

The study population consisted of all patients with SARS-CoV-2 admitted a hospital serving a population of 500 000 inhabitants. Patients were visited between 2 and 6 months after hospital discharge. In this visit, all patients were subjected to an exhaustive clinical questionnaire and underwent clinical examination, pulmonary function tests and chest CT.

Results

From February 2020 to August 2021, 1920 patients were included in the cohort and tracheomalacia was observed in 15 (0.8%) on expiratory HRCT imaging. All patients with tracheomalacia also presented ground glass opacities in the CT scan and 12 patients had airway sequelae.

Conclusions

Tracheomalacia is an exceptional sequela of SARS-CoV-2 survivors.

由 SARS-CoV-2 肺炎引起的后天性气管瘘

有几项研究提到了 SARS-CoV-2 肺炎后的实质病变，但很少有研究提到气道的病变。本研究的目的是估计气管瘘的发病率，并分析一组 SARS-CoV-2 患者的临床特征。患者在出院后 2 至 6 个月期间接受访视。2020 年 2 月至 2021 年 8 月，1920 名患者被纳入研究队列，其中 15 人（0.8%）在呼气 HRCT 成像中观察到气管瘘。气管瘘是 SARS-CoV-2 存活者的一种特殊后遗症。
