| مستخلص: | Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection has affected millions of people worldwide in the last 4 years. Among those infected, the long-term COVID-19 syndrome, in which symptoms of COVID-19 persist for a variable period, is posing new challenges to the health system, but few studies are available in India that examine the post-COVID-19 syndrome, that is, 6 months and beyond COVID-19 infection. This study aimed to find the prevalence and determinants of post-COVID-19 syndrome among patients 6 months and beyond their infection. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 patients who were admitted and discharged from Government Medical College, Thrissur, at least 6 months before with a diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. The data collection was performed using a semi-structured interview schedule through a telephonic interview. The analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Results: 21% of the patients studied had at least one persistent symptom at the end of 6 months, and 4.1% had more than one symptom. Among the symptoms persisting most commonly were fatigue (11%) and dyspnea (7.7%). Other than persisting symptoms, 21% of patients developed exertional dyspnea and 19% developed sleep disturbances during the 6 months after discharge. The factors that were associated with persistent symptoms in univariate analysis were increasing age, presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Conclusion: The study concludes that one-fifth of the patients still suffer from post-COVID-19 syndrome even 6 months after the COVID-19 infection. Our health systems should be prepared for the long-term management of COVID-19-infected people and prepare policies for the same. Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest.
