Results

Cough was prevalent (n = 41, 24%) and often accompanied by other symptoms, including gastrointestinal symptoms. Cough-specific QoL after recovery was correlated with reflux-related symptoms and abnormal laryngeal sensations. Multivariate analyses revealed that gastrointestinal symptoms, sputum, and chronic cough before contracting COVID-19 are significant predictors of cough-related outcomes in the post-COVID-19 condition.

Baseline Characteristics

The median length of the duration after recovery was 158 days. Chronic cough (once a week) was the third most frequent symptom after recovery, following dyssomnia and fatigue. A total of 65 individuals presented with respiratory symptoms such as cough, sputum, dyspnea, and wheezing. Cough was present in 115 individuals (68%) at admission. Pneumonia was also present in 149 individuals (88%), and oxygen therapy was required in 95 individuals (56%) during hospitalization. The prevalence rates of asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and sinonasal disorders such as allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis, which are representative causes of chronic cough, were low.

Participant flow

We conducted a cross-sectional survey about the sequelae of COVID-19 in patients who were admitted to Aichi Hospital, a specialized hospital for COVID-19 treatment, from October 2020 to October 2021. A total of 743 individuals were eligible for this study. However, 193 individuals were excluded due to the following reasons: (1) could not complete the questionnaires by themselves due to dementia or being bedridden (n = 112), (2) died in the hospital (n = 33), or (3) could not read or understand Japanese language (n = 48). A research information letter, a consent form, and some questionnaires were sent to 550 individuals between December 2021 and January 2022. These were sent at least 3 months after discharging from the hospital due to COVID-19. Of these individuals, only 170 agreed to participate in the study. The study was approved by the ethics committee of Aichi Hospital (approval date: 19th November 2021, approval number: 2021-3) and registered on the UMIN clinical trial registry (UMIN000046188).

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

Using self-developed questionnaires and visual analog scales, 19 symptoms, including cough, were assessed. Cough-specific quality of life (QoL), reflux-related symptoms, and abnormal laryngeal sensations were also evaluated. The patient clinical characteristics such as blood tests and the presence of pneumonia, and indices, including cough-specific QoL, at admission were extracted from their medical records. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted to determine the factors associated with cough-related outcomes, such as prevalence, QoL, and severity, in the post-COVID-19 condition.
