ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
An infection with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) might show a wide range of symptoms. Many individuals still experience symptoms after a prolonged period of initial COVID-19.OBJECTIVES:
The objective is to find out the prolonged consequences of COVID-19 with their associations. MATERIALS ANDMETHOD:
Two hundred and eighty-six COVID-19 cases were the subject of this cross-sectional investigation, which was carried out in basic and secondary healthcare facilities in Bangladesh. COVID-19-positive participants with consent were interviewed in person about their sociodemographic traits, the nature of their COVID-19 infection, risk factors, present manifestations, etc. We carried out our statistical exploration by use of IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22 (Released 2013; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States). To evaluate differences, we utilized the chi-square (χ2) test as well as the unpaired t-test. Our significance threshold level was 0.05.RESULT:
In this study, 18.5% of participants reported having post-COVID-19 symptoms. The four main symptom categories were anorexia (26.4%), myalgia (34.8%), fatigue (41.5%), and palpitations (25.5%). The majority of post-COVID-19 syndrome patients (e.g., 40.0%) were over 50 years old. Severe disease (81.8%) was more likely to develop post-COVID-19 illness.CONCLUSION:
Fifty-three out of 286 participants (or 18.5%) reported having post-COVID-19 symptoms. The main symptom categories included fatigue, myalgia, anorexia, and palpitations. In order to determine the risk variables our data supports, additional investigation is required.
