病毒難斷尾，百病齊送棺
In Hong Kong, researchers found that post-discharge rehospitalization for patients with COVID-19 in Hong Kong were common.
Higher SARS-CoV-2 viral loads at admission were associated with an increased likelihood of post-discharge death or rehospitalization, particularly for myocardial infarction or stroke, independent of initial ICU stay.
In HKSAR, one in ten patients with COVID-19 were rehospitalized during a median follow-p of 251 days.
It was reported that In the United Kingdom, over a third of patients admitted for COVID-19 were readmitted and more than 1 in 10 died after discharge.
Higher SARS-CoV-2 viral loads at presentation was independently associated with in-hospital mortality, or intubation.
Respiratory and plasma viral loads of SARS-CoV-2 predicted the risk of in-hospital death, predominantly due to pneumonia.
Higher viral loads (lower CT-values) independently predicted death, total rehospitalization and rehospitalization for stroke or myocardial infarction, independent of ICU stay.
Omicron does not attack you as a single pathogen, but debilitates you in companies.
