Aims: To compare the impact of covid-19 infection and its associated factors among various domains of quality of life (general health (GH), physical health (PH), mental health, and pain). To determine the variation and it’s contributing factors to the quality of life (QoL). To identify the most common persisting symptoms after covid-19 infection. Study Design: Cross-sectional community based online survey. Place and Duration of Study: Community-based online survey done for a period of 6 months (March 2021- September 2021) among patients who recovered from covid-19. Methodology: A validated self-made questionnaire with informed consent was used to gather information on the patient’s demographics (age, gender, educational qualification, occupation, marital status, and risk factors) covid-19 details (vaccination, severity, and hospitalization details), persisting symptoms, andHealth Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The HRQoL questions with scored options were framed under four domains general health, physical health, mental health, and pain. A convenient sample of 120 participants was included in our study. Results: The median and inter-quartile ranges were used to describe the HRQoL score. For normal data, Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) was used to investigate the relationship between the dependent and independent variables.MLR results demonstrated that risk factors, severity, and length of hospital stay were negatively associated with QoL. For non-normal data, the Kruskal Wallis test (KWT) and Mann Whitney U (MWU) test were used to compare the effect of covid-19 and its associated factors among various domains of HRQoL. KWT and MWT showed that the ability to perform physical activity was highly impaired in most post-covid patients. Cough, myalgia, arthralgia, and headache were the significant persisting symptoms of covid-19, reported by our participants. IBM SPSS software version 28.0 was used for statistical analysis. Conclusion: We conclude that health care intervention is needed to manage persisting symptoms and to improve HRQoL.
When the forward movement of intestinal contents is interrupted or impeded by a mechanical reason, it is referred to as an intestinal obstruction. In this case report, a 6-year-old pediatric patient presented with complaints of abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and bilious vomiting associated with nausea. In a shorter period, he had undergone two recurrent surgeries for intestinal obstruction and also had two different infections preceding the completion of the two surgeries. This report can give a clear picture that diagnosis serves as a gold standard for designing a pharmacotherapeutic plan to reduce the susceptibility to various pathogenic infections and reduce the length of hospital stay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
