COVID-19 after 2 Years from Hospital Discharge: A Pulmonary Function and Chest Computed Tomography Follow-Up Study.
Introduction: Serial follow-up with pulmonary function testing (PFT) and chest computed tomography (CT) after severe COVID-19 are recommended. As a result, many longitudinal studies have been published on COVID-19 of different grade of severity up to 1-year follow-up. Therefore, we aimed at a long-term observational study throughout 2 years after severe COVID-19.
Methods: Severe COVID-19 patients were consecutively recruited after hospital discharge between March and June 2020 and prospectively followed up for 24 months, with mMRC dyspnea scale and PFT at 6, 12, and 24 months. Chest CT was performed when clinically indicated.
Results: One hundred one patients enrolled completed the observational study. At 24 months, those with reduced total lung capacity (TLC) were 16%, associated with fibrotic ground glass opacity (GGO) and mMRC score >1, respectively, in 75% and 69% of them. At 24 months, those with a reduced diffusing capacity of the lung for CO were 41%, associated with fibrotic GGO and mMRC score >1, respectively, in 53% and 22% of them.
Conclusion: Two years after hospitalization for severe COVID-19, a non-negligible number of patients still suffer from "long COVID" due to respiratory damage.
期刊介绍:
''Respiration'' brings together the results of both clinical and experimental investigations on all aspects of the respiratory system in health and disease. Clinical improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of chest and lung diseases are covered, as are the latest findings in physiology, biochemistry, pathology, immunology and pharmacology. The journal includes classic features such as editorials that accompany original articles in clinical and basic science research, reviews and letters to the editor. Further sections are: Technical Notes, The Eye Catcher, What’s Your Diagnosis?, The Opinion Corner, New Drugs in Respiratory Medicine, New Insights from Clinical Practice and Guidelines. ''Respiration'' is the official journal of the Swiss Society for Pneumology (SGP) and also home to the European Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (EABIP), which occupies a dedicated section on Interventional Pulmonology in the journal. This modern mix of different features and a stringent peer-review process by a dedicated editorial board make ''Respiration'' a complete guide to progress in thoracic medicine.
