The study of the University of Lester and National Statistics (ONS) studied in the UK (ONS) showed that one of the eight "recovered" after COVID-19 patients dies within 140 days from the complications caused by the disease. At the same time, a third of the recovered patients again find themselves in the hospital within five months.
According to the observations, out of 47,780 people discharged from the hospital during the first Pandemic wave, 29.4 percent were hospitalized again for 140 days, and 12.3 percent died, Moscow Komsomolets writes, referring to Daily Mail. The long-term consequences of COVID-19 can cause recovered patients with heart problems, diabetes and chronic kidney and liver disease.
According to the author of the study, professors of the department of diabetes and vascular medicine at the University of Lester, Khunti, is "the largest study of people discharged from hospital after hospitalization with COVID."
"It seems that people go home, but they receive long-term effects, come back and die. We see that almost 30 percent were re-hospitalized, and these are a lot of people, "the Telegraph quotes Khunti.
"We do not know whether this happens that COVID destroyed beta cells that produce insulin, and you are sick of type 1 diabetes, or it causes insulin resistance, and you develop type 2, but we see these amazing new diagnoses of diabetes "," Said Professor.
Note that this study has not yet passed the review, and the alarming statistics are based on the original data - the UK authorities register death as associated with COVID if the patient dies within 28 days after a positive test result.
