Lung Function <i>sequelae</i> in COVID-19 Patients 3 Months After Hospital Discharge.

We observed that: (1) the later included more smokers and patients with hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); (2) on admission, these patients showed higher levels of d -dimer, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and creatinine (and reduced platelet counts); (3) during hospitalization, differences in WHO severity of disease failed to reach statistical significance, but the prevalence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pulmonary embolism was higher in patients with reduced DLCO after discharge.
