LONG LASTING SYMPTOMS OF DYSPNEA, COUGH AND FATIGUE AFTER COVID-19-NARRATIVE REVIEW OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES

"Long-COVID" is described as long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection that last 30 days and the average age of subjects exceeded 60 years, as well as studies with no information on the methodology used, in particular without the method of recruiting people for the study, were excluded. Populations with a high frequency of diabetes were defined as the prevalence 10%, hypertension 40%. It can be concluded that in the period of 30 days after discharge from the hospital, in populations with a high incidence of diabetes and hypertension, the incidence of chronic fatigue and cough was high -er than in the other analyzed groups. Symptoms of dyspnea were most frequently reported in populations with high rates of diabetes, but at the same time in the average percentage of people with arterial hypertension. Persistent symptoms specific to "Long-COVID" can significantly reduce the ability to perform work. In this situation, check-ups performed before returning to work after long-term leave tape on a new dimension. Med Pr. 2021;72(6):711-20
