The revealed functional disorders in patients who have suffered pneumonia associated with the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 require long-term rehabilitation, in particular in outpatient environment. Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of outpatient rehabilitation of patients who have suffered pneumonia associated with the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. Material and methods. The study included 72 patients after mild to moderate pneumonia associated with the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. The main group included 37 patients who underwent comprehensive rehabilitation, including physical therapy, massage, magnetic therapy, speleotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and drug therapy. The comparison group (35 patients) received physical therapy, magnetic therapy and drug therapy. The effectiveness of therapy was assessed on the basis of standardized questionnaires and scales: Asthenia scale (MFI-20), Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS), mMRC and Borg dyspnea scales, clinical and laboratory examination data. The quality of life of patients in the dynamics of rehabilitation was assessed by the quality of life questionnaire (EQ-5D). Results and discussion. In the main group of patients, the effectiveness of rehabilitation was higher relative to the decrease in the severity of dyspnea, asthenia, normalization of lymphocyte levels. In this group, the quality of life improved more significantly on the scales of anxiety/depression and psychoemotional status. Conclusion. The rehabilitation program, which additionally included chest massage, speleotherapy, transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), showed an advantage in improving clinical and laboratory parameters and quality of life in patients who have suffered pneumonia associated with the new coronavirus infection COVID-19.
Objective: to analyze the results of periodic medical examinations of employees of a large medical organization in dynamics, according to the final acts. Materials and methods: the research material was the final acts (2019–2021), compiled based on the results of periodic medical examinations of employees of the Novosibirsk Regional Clinical Hospital of War Veterans (Novosibirsk Regional Clinical Hospital of War Veterans). For the analysis, data on the structure of diseases for 2019–2021 were also used, with which medical workers underwent treatment courses in the day hospital of the hospital. Results: in just 3 years, 546 hospital employees under-went periodic medical examination, 489 of them women. The results of the studies have shown that in the dynamics of three-year follow-up, the number of persons subject to additional examination, treatment and dispensary observation has sharply increased, which may indicate a certain effectiveness of PMT. The detectability of chronic somatic diseases according to the results of the PMT has increased by more than 10 times in dynamics. 69 medical workers underwent treatment courses on the basis of the GNOCGV day hospital for 3 years. Of these, 22 medical workers were treated and rehabilitated in a day hospital with the consequences of a new COVID-19 coronavirus infection. Conclusion: when analyzing the final acts based on the results of the PMOS of GNOCGV employees for the period from 2019 to 2021, it was found that the efficiency and quality of inspections has increased dramatically.
