Summary

In December 2019 the first case of human infection by a new coronavirus was identified, currently called SARS-COV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus - 2), characterized by high contagiousness and the possibility of causing a severe acute respiratory distress syndrome from which its acronym derives and which caused the state of a global pandemic in a few months. The most frequent clinical manifestation of COVID-19 is pneumonia, which in about 20% of cases results in acute respiratory failure. Very few studies have so far addressed the problem of clinical and functional recovery in these patients, most of them just before or after discharge and none specifically focused on patients admitted for ARF. Indeed most of these investigations were limited to a specific field such as symptoms, pulmonary function and radiological changes. There are no guidelines for the follow-up of COVID-19 patients, despite the British Thoracic Society (BTS) has published a guidance for scheduling post-hospitalization assessments.

Aim of this study is to describe the long term (6 to 12 months) evolution of lung involvement in patients discharged after an episode of ARF due to COVID-19, identifying possible factor associated to lasting clinical, functional or radiological abnormalities collecting data from hospital stay, 1-month after hospital discharge, 3-months after hospital discharge and 6-to-12-months after hospital discharge.
