Abstract

Introduction. SARS CoV-2 infection is characterized by a multisystem condition that in the acute stage has a negative impact on the functionality of patients. Although in other countries there are rehabilitation programs to treat patients with COVID-19, which are based on the prevention and management of acute complications, in Colombia there are few data regarding the epidemiology of this population.

Objectives. To describe the medical and rehabilitation interventions that were offered to adult patients with COVID-19 who required in-hospital management at the Clínica Universidad de La Sabana in Chía, Colombia, and to define the sociodemographic characteristics of this population.

Methods. A descriptive analysis of the variables established was carried out through the review of the medical records of 96 patients treated between July and December 2020 at the Clínica Universidad de La Sabana. Results. Most of the patients were men (62.5%) and the most prevalent comorbidity was arterial hypertension (47.9%). The patients who had admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), 45% required invasive ventilatory support. Physiatry assessment was performed 9.29 days on average from the start of hospitalization, and the 95.8% of patients received intervention by some therapeutic modality.

Conclusions. A high prevalence of elderly male patients with comorbidities and from Chía was found. Regarding the comprehensive rehabilitation intervention, physiotherapy was the most prescribed in 79.5% of the population and the most frequent diagnosis was physical deconditioning syndrome.
