Abstract

Objective: Clinical characteristics and investigation of pulmonary function of patients after COVID-19 at Thai Nguyen university of Medicine and Pharmacy hospital. Methods: Cross-sectional description of clinical characteristics and investigation of pulmonary function of 49 patients after COVID-19 at Thai Nguyen university of Medicine and Pharmacy hospital from 3-12/2022. Results: 55,1% female, 44,9% male. Pulmonary dysfunction: 26,5% female, 20.4% male, 28,6% over 35-year-old patients, 15-35 years old is 18,4%. Most patients have a normal BMI.

Patients had Pulmonary dysfunction with cough is 28,6%, with chest pain is 18,4%, with shortness of breath is 18.4%. Mild obstructive ventilation dysfunction was 57,14%, mild restrictive ventilation dysfunction was 14,3%, moderate restrictive ventilation dysfunction was 2,04%.
