Abstract

Background: Post-COVID-19 symptoms and diseases appeared on recovered from COVID-19. Hence, the study aims to investigate and characterize the manifestations which appear after recovery from the corona virus infection.

Objectives: To investigate the post-COVID-19 Manifestation, to demonstrate different symptoms or signs that appeared during COVID and after recovery from the disease and to see association of independent factors (like age, sex, BMI, Comorbidities) with Post-COVID complication.

Methods: The study was conducted using cross-sectional study among COVID positive patients admitted and then recovered in Bangur Hospital, Pali, Rajasthan, including ICU and Isolation wards from March to December 2020. Sample size calculated was 423 with simple random sampling.

Findings: In our study of these 421 COVID-19 cases, median age was 36 year (Interquartile Range: 26-55 years). Post-COVID manifestation (at least one symptom) significantly associated with age of subjects (p = 0.001), subjects who were in ICU during COVID-19 positive (p = 0.003), symptomatic subjects (p = 0.009) during COVID positive and SPO2 level at the time of admission during COVID positive (p = 0.01).

Conclusion: The recovered subjects should be highly vigilant in maintaining and monitoring their health status as there is a risk of future complications after recovery.
