Published: Oct. 18, 2023

Despite surviving Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), its long-term impact is of concern. Low cardiorespiratory fitness a strong predictor all-cause mortality, and likely affected by multisystem impairments following COVID-19 infection. Accumulating evidence has identified the on level. However, findings have been controversial. Conclusive still needed.This review aimed to systematically summarize synthesize whether SARS-CoV-2 infection diminishes in survivors.The study design was systematic meta-analysis.A search carried out using PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase Cochrane Library, together with reference lists (searching from their inception January 2023). Observational studies investigating outcomes relevant (i.e., peak oxygen uptake) were included. Weighted mean difference (WMD) 95% confidence interval (CI) used identify pooled effect estimate. Use random effects model considered as main method. Grading Recommendation Assessment, Development Evaluation approach employed determine certainty evidence. This meta-analysis registered PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42023393108).Seven eligible (4 cross-sectional, 2 cohort, 1 case-control studies) involving 4,773 participants included this meta-analysis. A estimates showed that patients group had significant reduction uptake when compared counterparts non-COVID-19 (WMD -6.70, 95%CI -9.34 -4.06, low certainty). subgroup analysis age found survivors young- middle-aged middle- older-aged subgroups reductions -5.31, -7.69 -2.94, certainty; WMD -15.63, -28.50 -2.75, very certainty, respectively). Subgroup analyses symptom moderate severe symptoms significantly lower than certainty).The current concluded poorer group, but there considerable uncertainty Poorer be more pronounced who are getting older symptoms, it uncertain such finding valuable clinical context.https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, CRD42023393108.

Obesity is a global Non-Communicable Chronic Disease (NCD) associated with various comorbidities and high mortality rate. This scenario has increasingly affected the female population, leading to rise in prevalence related health issues. Therefore, present study aimed assess health-related quality of life women overweight or obesity symptoms COVID-19 using multi-professional intervention model. research was conducted as parallel group repeated measures pragmatic trial, which 28 participants aged between 25 65 were allocated into two groups: experimental (intervention group) control (non-intervention participants). The Body Mass Index (BMI) (30.5 ± 5.45 kg/m²) Experimental Group, Control Group (31 8.2 kg/m2). 12-Item Health Survey (SF-12) questionnaire applied physical mental domains survivors different symptom severities (mild, moderate, severe) compared group. At end program, finished (15 from 13 group). results indicated significant improvement domain only after period (p < 0.05). However, no differences observed groups > Considering these findings, actions emerge crucial component for enhancing life, particularly within health, during 16-week period.

Abstract Background The SARS-CoV2 pandemic impacted many critically ill patients, causing sequelae, affecting lung function, and involving the musculoskeletal system. We evaluated association between function muscle quality index in severely post-COVID-19 patients. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on a cohort at third-level center. included patients who had experienced severe-to-critical COVID-19. Anthropometric measurements, such as body mass (BMI) handgrip strength, were obtained to calculate (MQI). Additionally, spirometry, measurements of expiratory inspiratory pressure, an assessment DLCO lungs performed. MQI categorized into two groups: low-MQI (below 50th percentile) high-MQI (above percentile), based sex. Group differences analyzed, multivariate linear regression analysis performed assess respiratory MQI. Results Among 748 61.96% required mechanical ventilation, median hospital stay 17 days. In with low MQI, it observed that both lower. revealed significantly lower findings among Conclusion Low-MQI is independent predictor associated pulmonary parameters subjects Post-COVID-19 syndrome.
