Musculoskeletal Symptoms in Post Acute Covid-19 Patients

Completed

• Conditions: Covid19; Musculoskeletal Abnormalities

• Registration Number: NCT04932889
• Lead Sponsor: Eskisehir City Hospital

Brief Summary

The patients whose musculoskeletal symptoms initiated or aggravated with Covid-19, were compared with the patients whose musculoskeletal symptoms did not change with Covid-19. The variables; the demographic and treatment datas, admission symptoms, post acute-Covid-19 symptoms, laboratory, chest computed tomography findings.

Detailed Description

There is a lack of an overview of the factors associated with post acute-Covid-19 musculoskeletal symptoms. The aims are;1-to evaluate the most frequent admission symptoms and the frequency of musculoskeletal symptoms in post acute-Covid-19 patients,2-to determine the related factors with the post acute-Covid-19 musculoskeletal symptoms.

In this retrospective study; the patients whose musculoskeletal symptoms initiated or aggravated with Covid-19, were compared wthe patients whose musculoskeletal symptoms did not change with Covid-19. The variables; the demographic and treatment datas, admission symptoms, post acute-Covid-19 symptoms, laboratory (complete blood count, C-reactive protein, ferritin, D-dimer), chest computed tomography findings.
