Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to provide an insight into the care situation of long COVID patients in inpatient medical rehabilitation facilities in Germany.

Methods: For this purpose, a standardized online survey was conducted among 1,080 inpatient medical rehabilitation facilities in Germany.

Results: A total of 338 cases were available for the analysis. Of these, 173 (51%) reported treating long COVID. The cumulative total number of rehabilitants with long COVID treated in the facilities up to the time of the survey was 11,948. The results showed that rehabilitation facilities were mostly prepared for the care of patients with Long COVID. Lack of capacity was reported especially by those rehabilitation facilities that treated rehabilitants with long COVID in pneumology departments. Furthermore, capacity bottlenecks were related to the total number of patients with long COVID in the rehabilitation facility ("proportion of rehabilitants with long COVID to all rehabilitants in the department"). Heterogeneity was found in the treatment concept for long COVID and the allocation of patients to a specific department.

Conclusion: The results of the long COVID inventory underline the importance of medical rehabilitation in the treatment of the long-term health and participation-related consequences of COVID-19.

[长冠肺炎在医疗康复中的评估]。

目的:本研究旨在了解德国住院医疗康复机构长期COVID患者的护理情况。方法:为此，对德国1080家住院医疗康复机构进行了标准化的在线调查。结果:共有338例可用于分析。其中，173家(51%)报告长期治疗COVID。截至调查时，在这些设施接受长期治疗的康复者累计总数为11948人。结果表明，康复设施大多是为长冠肺炎患者的护理而准备的。特别是那些在肺炎科治疗长冠状病毒康复者的康复机构报告能力不足。此外，容量瓶颈与康复机构中长冠状病毒的患者总数有关(“长冠状病毒的康复者占科室所有康复者的比例”)。长冠状病毒的治疗理念和患者分配到特定科室存在异质性。结论:COVID-19长期清查结果强调了医疗康复在治疗COVID-19长期健康和参与相关后果中的重要性。
