Full title: Number of initial symptoms is more related to long COVID-19 than acute severity of infection: a prospective cohort of hospitalized patients.


Introduction

Post-COVID-19 symptoms experienced by many survivors after infection have a further devastating effect. Reports of risk factor of long COVID-19 are rising but data including reliable assessment of persistent symptoms by structured face to face follow up visit are scarce (Halpinet al. 2021). Here we report a study assessing post-COVID-19 associated risk factors in hospitalized patients including those requiring ICU four months after admission. We provide also data about objective measures of COVID-19 severity e.g., oxygen requirement, inflammatory biomarkers and radiological findings.
