If you had Covid-19 and were hospitalized, don't miss this new study.

After being hospitalized with Covid-19, patients are at an increased risk of death or developing organ-related disorders for up to two-and-a-half years, according to a recent study conducted in New Delhi. This is particularly concerning as previous studies have shown that almost 60% of patients experience persistent organ damage, even after recovering from the initial infection.

Led by researchers at Bichat Hospital in Paris, the study looked at data from nearly 64,000 French residents who were hospitalized with Covid-19 between January and August 2020. The findings were concerning, as the study revealed that these patients were not only more likely to experience death from any cause, but also had a higher rate of hospitalizations for specific organ-related conditions compared to those who were not hospitalized for Covid-19.

The team also found that Covid-19 patients were at a higher risk of being hospitalized for various reasons, including neurological, psychiatric, cardiovascular, and respiratory problems. Interestingly, women were found to be at a higher risk of hospitalization due to psychiatric reasons compared to men.

Lead author Dr. Sarah Tubiana, an infectious disease specialist at Bichat Hospital, commented on the study's results, stating that they serve as a "stark reminder of the far-reaching impact of Covid-19". She emphasized that the implications for public health are significant, as the study showed that those who were hospitalized with Covid-19 continue to face severe health complications for months and even years after their discharge.

The study followed the participants for a period of 30 months, monitoring both deaths and hospital admissions for any cause and specific organ-related conditions. The average age of the participants was 65 years, and data from the national health insurance claims database was analyzed. The study also included almost 320,000 people from the general population who were not hospitalized for Covid-19 during the same period.

The authors of the study highlighted that Covid-19 patients were at an increased risk of death or hospitalization for various organ disorders, highlighting the multi-organ consequences of the disease. They also noted that there was no difference between men and women in terms of the risk of hospitalization, except for psychiatric reasons, where women had a higher excess risk.

However, the authors acknowledged that these findings may not fully apply to later variants of the virus, as the study focused on patients who were infected in early 2020 before new variants emerged. They also stressed the importance of continued healthcare and monitoring for those who have been hospitalized with Covid-19, as the study highlights the long-term implications and risks associated with the disease.

In conclusion, the study serves as a reminder of the lasting impact of Covid-19 on individuals and public health. The findings highlight the need for continued monitoring and healthcare for those who have been hospitalized with the disease, and further research is needed to understand the full extent of the long-term consequences of Covid-19.
