Long-term Lung and Bone Ramifications of
Hospital-Acquired SARS Infection
Prospective, observational cohort study of medical staff infected with SARS in
2003; 15-yr follow-up of lung and bone outcomes via pulmonary CT scans
and function tests, hip joint MRIs and function questionnaires (N = 71)
‒ Percentage of lung area with pulmonary lesions diminished from 9.4% to
3.2% in first yr (P <.001), then stabilized until last assessment in 2018
‒ Percentage of osteonecrotic volume by MRI of femoral head declined
substantially from 38.8% to 30.4% in first 2 yr (P = .0002), then slowly to
2013 and plateaued until last assessment in 2018
“Pulmonary interstitial damage and functional decline caused by SARS mostly
recovered, with a greater extent of recovery within 2 yr after rehabilitation.
Femoral head necrosis induced by large doses of steroid pulse therapy in
SARS patients was not progressive and was partially reversible.”

Cardiovasular Sequelae
Prospective, observational cohort study sourcing recovered patients
from the University Hospital Frankfurt COVID-19 Registry (N = 100)1
‒ CV magnetic resonance performed at median 71 days from diagnosis
‒ Abnormal findings in 78% of patients, myocardial inflammation in 60%;
independent of preexisting comorbidities, severity of acute SARS-CoV-2
infection, and time from diagnosis
‒ Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, increased left ventricle volumes
and native T1/T2 vs risk-matched controls
“There are no data on how acute treatment of COVID-19 may affect . . . long-term
cardiac recovery and function. Patients with ostensibly recovered cardiac function
may still be at risk of cardiomyopathy and cardiac arrhythmias.”2

Complexities of Calculating Mortality and
Case-Fatality Rates in Hospitals and ICUs
Rates should be adjusted for the changing demographics of people
admitted over time, but these detailed data can be difficult to obtain
Thresholds for hospital admission may have changed over time, with
less severely ill patients being admitted as space became less limited
‒ Potentially adjusted for in NYC dataset by adjusting for clinical and
laboratory values that reflect disease severity (eg, oxygen saturation,
C-reactive protein)
