A study of patients treated for Covid-19 at a Wuhan, China, hospital has found that some continue to battle with health impairments a year after contracting the virus, with women being more prone to fatigue, lung problems and muscle weakness.

Medical workers in protective suits attend to Covid-19 patients at the intensive care unit of a Wuhan hospital in February 2020.A study of Covid-19 patients in the city where the pandemic began has found that some continue to battle with health impairments a year after contracting the virus.

Findings show that around one in three people still have shortness of breath and lung impairments persisted in some patients, especially those who experienced the most severe illness. “While most had made a good recovery, health problems persisted in some patients, especially those who had been critically ill during their hospital stay.

A previous study by the same researchers reported outcomes from 1,733 hospitalised Covid-19 survivors after six months found that around three-quarters had persistent health problems. Fatigue or muscle weakness were the most commonly reported symptoms, with around half of patients experiencing them at six months, falling to one in five patients at a year.

At the six-month check, 349 study participants underwent a lung function test and 244 of those patients completed the same test at 12 months.
