“… 46 , 55 Patients in critical condition also have different degrees of muscle dysfunction and cognitive impairment. 12 , 56 A descriptive exploratory analysis of data from the Chinese infectious disease information system revealed a lethality of 49% in critical cases. Patients with comorbidities (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory illness, hypertension, and cancer) had higher lethality rates (10.5, 7.3, 6.5, 6 and 5.6%, respectively) than those with no comorbidities.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is likely to have a major impact on society and the economy since the illness is currently infecting a significant number of active workers in the industry and service sectors. The illness can have long-term consequences for patients, affecting their functional capacity and, consequently, their occupational performance. This study analyzed the effects of COVID-19 on occupational health, with a focus on the importance of physical therapy in rehabilitation. An integrative literature review was conducted based on articles retrieved from the PubMed, SciELO, and LILACS databases using the following keywords: COVID-19, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and occupational health. The search retrieved 1,308 studies, 15 of which met inclusion criteria for the review. A thorough assessment of the articles revealed four topics that corresponded to the results of this study: 1) effects of COVID-19 on occupational health; 2) physical therapy in mild and moderate cases without hospitalization; 3) physical therapy in hospitalized patients with COVID-19; 4) physical therapy in post-intensive care unit (ICU) recovery and after hospital discharge. The findings showed that COVID-19 can affect several physiological systems and have both short- and long-term effects on patients, including physical and psychological impairments. Physical therapists must be involved in the battle against this illness to help patients recover their physical function and return to work as quickly, safely, and effectively as possible.

“…The interactions among the critical illness-related complications, comorbidities, life-support treatments, organizational aspects of intensive care and adaptation during the post-ICU period may contribute to the development of post-intensive care syndrome. ( 1 , 3 ) This syndrome is characterized by physical, functional, cognitive and psychiatric changes and by the development of posttraumatic stress disorder, which can lead to reduced quality of life.

“…The decline of survivors of a critical condition is a major challenge and is not yet fully understood. 1 , 2 Some studies point out deleterious consequences such as persistent functional decline, hospital readmissions, pain, and unproductivity . 3 – 6 There are few studies that investigate which interventions applied in the intensive care unit (ICU) have the potential to help the survivors’ recovery after hospital discharge.…”
