The UK National Health Service assumes that of Covid-19 patients who have required hospitalization,
45 percent will need ongoing medical care, 4 percent will require inpatient rehabilitation, and 1 percent will permanently require acute care. Other preliminary evidence, as well as historical research on other coronaviruses like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), suggests that for some people, a full recovery might still be years off. For others, there may be no returning to normal.
Det talas för lite om vilka konsekvenser Covid19 ger även om du tillfrisknar. De som haft sjukdomen som jag känner är oroade för att de känner att de glömmer saker, är konstant trötta och så vidare.
Enligt forskning ser man förutom
permanenta lungskador även permanenta skador på organ och hjärnan. Blodproppar och stroke även efter tillfrisknande. Vissa forskare bävar för att Covid19 kan ge andra sjukdomar som Parkinson och Demens. Man har också sett påverkan på den kognitiva förmågan.
Covid-19 also seems to affect the central nervous system, with potentially long-lasting consequences. In one study from China,
more than a third of 214 people hospitalized with confirmed Covid-19 had neurological symptoms, including dizziness, headaches, impaired consciousness, vision, taste/smell impairment, and nerve pain while they were ill. These symptoms were more common in patients with severe cases, where the incidence increased to 46.5 percent. Another study in France found neurologic features in 58 of 64 critically ill Covid-19 patients.
A pulmonary critical care doctor at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, for example, recovered from Covid-19, only to learn she had developed
cardiomyopathy[/b], a condition where your heart has trouble delivering blood around your body. Although previously healthy, when she returned to work, she told NBC, “I couldn’t run around like I always do.”
Long-term complications of Covid-19 — whether caused by the virus itself or the inflammation it triggers — could include
decreased attention, concentration, and memory, as well as dysfunction in peripheral nerves, “the ones that go to your arms, legs, fingers, and toes,” Elkind says.
There are other cognitive implications for people who receive intensive treatment in hospitals. For example,
delirium — an acutely disturbed state of mind that can result in confusion and seeing or hearing things that aren’t there — affects a third or more of ICU patients, and research suggests the
presence of delirium during severe illness predicts future long-term cognitive decline.
