Identificación y seguimiento de secuelas post-COVID-19 e intervención bioquímica en poblaciones vulnerables de 50 a 65 años
The type 2 coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) is the pathogen responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a global health crisis and put health systems to the test. The identification and monitoring of post-COVID-19 sequelae, together with specific interventions, can contribute to improving health outcomes in the affected population. The main objective of the study was to identify and monitor post-COVID-19 sequelae and intervention in vulnerable populations. The methodology applied was analytical, descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional. The results showed that 42% (n=42) of the participants had high blood pressure. Most participants (73%, n=66) had normal glucose levels (70-110 mg/dL), and almost the entire study population (99%, n=89) had normal creatinine levels (0.5-1.3 mg/dL). It was observed that 73% (n=72) of patients had normal glucose levels, while 22% (n=22) had hyperglycemia: a considerable proportion of patients were found to have symptoms of stress. It was concluded that there was a predominance of females, low educational levels, and a significant burden of comorbidities. The biochemical evaluation of post-COVID-19 patients shows that, although most maintain parameters within normal ranges.
