Increased risk of hospitalization for various disorders after COVID-19 infection: A Cohort study of the UK biobank spanning over a hundred disease categories
This study revealed increased risk of hospitalization from a wide variety of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary diseases after COVID-19, especially for severe infections. The findings may have important clinical implications, such as the need for closer monitoring and risk assessment of relevant sequelae, and allocating more resources toward prevention and treatment of such sequelae.
