Resumen
El estudio actual se enfoca en evaluar exhaustivamente la relación entre la capacidad funcional, la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud y el síndrome de fatiga crónica en individuos post-COVID en la Región Caribe Colombiana. Se utilizó un análisis multicriterio y se estratificó a los participantes en cinco grupos según rangos de edad, brindando una representación significativa y diversa de la muestra. Además, se examinaron detalladamente los ingresos mensuales, los niveles educativos y la presencia de síntomas post-COVID.
Los resultados revelaron que el 62.6% de los participantes experimentaron al menos un síntoma post-COVID, siendo la fatiga uno de los síntomas más prominentes. La complejidad de la recuperación post-COVID se reflejó en la diversidad de síntomas presentes, destacando la necesidad de un enfoque holístico en la atención médica continua. La relación entre el número de síntomas y la calidad de vida percibida fue evidente, indicando que aquellos con más síntomas enfrentaron una disminución en su calidad de vida.
La distribución de ingresos mensuales y niveles educativos subrayó la heterogeneidad socioeconómica y educativa de la muestra, planteando desafíos y oportunidades en el diseño de intervenciones y políticas de salud adaptadas a las diversas realidades de los pacientes post-COVID. Además, la relación entre la fatiga y otros síntomas presentes destaca la necesidad de considerar la interrelación de los síntomas en el diseño de estrategias de manejo y rehabilitación.
Los datos sugieren que la fatiga post-COVID tiene un impacto significativo en la calidad de vida de los individuos afectados. La prevalencia de la fatiga fue del 62.6%, y se observó una relación clara entre el número de síntomas y la calidad de vida percibida. La diversidad de síntomas, como fatiga, dificultad para respirar y problemas neurológicos, puede influir en la calidad de vida de diferentes maneras.
La recuperación post-COVID fue variable, con el 69.6% informando niveles mejorados de fatiga, pero un 20.68% aún experimentando fatiga junto con otros síntomas. La relación compleja entre la fatiga y otros síntomas destaca la variabilidad en la respuesta inmunológica y fisiológica después de la infección por COVID-19.
The current study focuses on comprehensively assessing the relationship between functional capacity, health-related quality of life, and post-COVID fatigue syndrome in individuals in the Colombian Caribbean Region. A multicriteria analysis was employed, and participants were stratified into five groups based on age ranges, providing a significant and diverse representation of the sample. Additionally, monthly incomes, educational levels, and the presence of post-COVID symptoms were meticulously examined. Results revealed that 62.6% of participants experienced at least one post-COVID symptom, with fatigue being one of the most prominent. The complexity of post-COVID recovery was reflected in the diversity of symptoms, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach in continuous healthcare. The relationship between the number of symptoms and perceived quality of life was evident, indicating that those with more symptoms faced a decrease in their quality of life. The distribution of monthly incomes and educational levels underscored the socio-economic and educational heterogeneity of the sample, posing challenges and opportunities in designing interventions and health policies tailored to the diverse realities of post-COVID patients. Furthermore, the relationship between fatigue and other present symptoms highlights the need to consider the interrelation of symptoms in designing management and rehabilitation strategies. Data suggest that post-COVID fatigue significantly impacts the quality of life of affected individuals, with a fatigue prevalence of 62.6%. There is a clear relationship between the number of symptoms and perceived quality of life. The diversity of symptoms, such as fatigue, difficulty breathing, and neurological issues, can influence quality of life in various ways. Post-COVID recovery varied, with 69.6% reporting improved levels of fatigue, but 20.68% still experiencing fatigue along with other symptoms, indicating the complexity and variability of post-COVID recovery. The complex relationship between fatigue and other symptoms highlights the variability in the immune and physiological response after COVID-19 infection.
