Retrospective longitudinal study on the long-term impact of COVID-19 infection on polysomnographic evaluation in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome
PWS patients predominantly experienced only mild to medium symptoms during COVID-19 infection without necessity of hospitalisation. However, on average three months after infection, differences in PSG evaluations were still apparent, manifesting in lower SpO2 and more frequent hypopnea. A long-lasting impairment of the pulmonary system due to the COVID-19 infection might be responsible.
