| Core Tip |
Long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a chronic condition that occurs after the initial severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. This longitudinal observational cohort study evaluates the short-term and long-term laboratory and instrumental findings in COVID-19 patients, and was conducted in hospitals in Tuscany between March 1, 2020, and March 1, 2021. The results indicated that alterations in liver enzymes, hematocrit or hemoglobin, lymphocytes and neutrophils were associated with a risk of requiring oxygen therapy or experiencing spirometry abnormalities during follow-up. These imbalanced conditions may contribute to pulmonary dysfunction and warrant further investigation to define potential pulmonary abnormalities. |
