Abstract
Background: Outbreak of covid causing Post - COVID conditions with multiple systemic symptoms. However, even if the infection was cured. Some patients may have symptoms that deteriorated the quality of life after infection with coronavirus. At present, it is not clearly known how to prevent Post-COVID conditions.
Objective: Identifying factors associated with Post - COVID conditions in Nangrong Hospital, Buriram Province.
Study design: Retrospective cohort.
Methods: Two types of study models were used, descriptive study and analytical study. To determine the relationship of factors affecting the incidence of Post-COVID conditions by collecting data from patients diagnosed with Covid infection at Nang Rong Hospital from 1st April 2022 – 31st May 2022.
Results: 514 patients were collected, 51.9% of patients were classified as Post-COVID conditions. The most common symptoms were fatigue, Dyspnea, cough, and insomnia, mean of duration 10.5 weeks. Univariate significant factors associated with Post-COVID conditions were female gender (Relative Risk=1.28, 95%CI= 1.06 - 1.54, p-value = 0.007), hospital admission (Relative Risk =1.26, 95%CI= 1.05-1.50 p-value = 0.015), anxiety mood during the infection period (Relative Risk =1.33, 95%CI = 1.12-1.56 p-value = 0.002), history of allergy (Relative Risk =1.42, 95%CI = 1.21-1.67 p-value = 0.000), comorbidities with lung diseases (Relative Risk = 1.57, 95%CI= 1.24-1.99 p-value = 0.010), BMI < 18.5 (Relative Risk = 1.39, 95%CI= 1.05-1.82 p-value = 0.044) and covid pneumonia (Relative Risk =1.44, 95%CI= 1.19- 1.74 p-value = 0.002).
Conclusions: The multivariate significant factors were female gender, history of allergy, and comorbidities with lung diseases statistically significant.
