SUMMARY:
Introduction: Covid-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), a highly transmissible disease
caused by SARS-CoV-2, has presented major challenges to the global health system
since it was discovered in late 2019. Considering the rapid spread of covid-19 to
several countries around the world, there was a need to seek alternatives that could
serve patients, due to the overload of the health system. In this sense, telehealth
proved to be an excellent option as a low-cost tool with enormous potential to meet the
great demands that originated with the disease. According to the World Health
Organization (WHO), long covid is a condition that occurs in patients with a history of
probable or confirmed covid-19, three months after the acute phase of the disease,
with symptoms that last at least two months and that cannot be explained by another
diagnosis. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of long covid in patients seen by a
public telehealth service, as well as the new complaints arising from covid-19 after the
acute phase and the factors associated with the higher prevalence of long covid.
Method: Cross-sectional study involving users of a teleservice for covid-19 in the acute
phase, entitled TeleCOVID-MG, which operated in two municipalities of Minas Gerais,
Divinopolis and Teofilo Otoni. Were eligible for the study Individuals aged 18 years or
older, tested positive for diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2, and have been monitored
by TeleCOVID-MG for time > 6 days. Descriptive analysis and comparison of groups
were used using logistic regression with Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval
(CI). Results: From the 699 patients included in the study, 60.8% were women, 44.6
% aged between 30 and 49 years and 46.5 % completed high school. The main
comorbidities were hypertension (20.9%), diabetes (8.3%) and heart disease (3.9%).
A prevalence of 26.8% (95% CI: 23.5; 30.1) of long covid was found. Female gender
(OR: 2.51; CI 95%: 1.36; 4.63), having completed high school (OR: 2.13; CI 95%: 1.07;
4.22), having completed elementary school (OR: 2.81; CI 95%: 1.12; 7.04), income
above 3 minimum wages (OR: 5.85; CI 95%: 1.20; 28.49), with supplementary health
care (OR: 1.98; CI 95%: 1.05; 3.73), who presented anosmia (OR: 4.52; CI 95%: 2.05;
9.98) and the need for face-to-face care (OR: 2.44; CI 95%: 1.02; 5.86) in the acute
phase were significantly associated with long covid. Cognitive symptoms (49.7%), 7
chronic diarrhea (49.2%) and cough (40.6%) were the main complaints. Conclusion:
Long covid affected almost a third of the study population, with impacts on the lives of
respondents.
