Authors' conclusion
In COVID-19 ARDS survivors, socio-economic status had no significant influence on respiratory sequelae 6 months after ICU discharge.
Study context
- Population
- Survivors of COVID-19 ARDS (Berlin criteria) in 30 French intensive care units (ICUs) who performed the 6-month evaluation
- Participants
- 401 analyzable patients
- Exposure
- Socio-economically deprived vs non-deprived
- Deprivedn = 160
- Non-deprivedn = 241reference
- Outcome
- Respiratory sequelae: ≥1 of FVC < 80% predicted, DLCO < 80% predicted, desaturation during 6-min walk test, fibrotic-like findings on chest CT
- Follow-up
- 6 months after ICU discharge
