CHARACTERIZATION OF SYMPTOMS AND RISK FACTORS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF POST-COVID-19 IN PATIENTS FROM CENTRO DE ACOLHIMENTO E REABILITAÇÃO PÓS-COVID-19 IN MACAÉ (RJ)

The World Health Organization defines post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) by symptoms that interfere with the patient`s daily life and that occurs after SARS-CoV-2 infection. PCC can be divided into two categories: subacute, which includes symptoms that occur 4-12 weeks after the end of acute COVID-19; and chronic, which includes symptoms that occur 12 weeks after acute COVID-19 and cannot be attributed to other diseases. The wide range of symptoms related to PCC involves multiple organs and systems and involves factors such as hospitalization, gender, comorbidity, vaccination, age, among others. Therefore, to understand the heterogeneity of PCC, it is crucial to understand its etiology and risk factors.
