Post-hospitalized Health Conditions of Covid-19 patients: A Cross-sectional study in Bangladesh.

The objective of this research is to examine comorbidity status of hospitalized Covid-19 patients and its association with post-Covid-19 health complications. Data were collected from 1207 Covid-19 patients who were hospitalized at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Bangladesh from May 2020 to April 2021. Results show that patients with pre-existing diseases needed longer hospitalization and reported experiencing post-Covid-19 related health complications. Moreover, Covid-19 hospitalized patients suffered from different physical and mental health problems after being discharged from hospital including weakness, dyspnea and physical discomfort while also suffered mental health problems like anxiety, brain fog, dementia. The majority of them (>80.0%) followed the precautions recommended by health care personnel after hospitalization and thus only a few of them were re-infected by Covid-19.
