Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is an acute disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, mainly characterized by mild to the severe acute respiratory syndrome. Today, studying the impact of postCOVID-19 syndrome is one of the topics of interest. However, studying the association of postCOVID-19 syndrome on the basis of chest X-rays is not yet better understood and is of increasing interest to scientists. Objectives: 1). To describe the chest X-ray characteristics of post-Covid patients in the Examination Department of Can Tho Tuberculosis and Lung Disease Hospital in 2022; 2) To assess the anxiety level of post-COVID-19 patients in the Examination Department of Can Tho Tuberculosis and Lung Disease Hospital in 2022. Materials and methods: The study describes a series of cases including 36 patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 came to the examination and treatments department at Can Tho Tuberculosis and Lung Disease Hospital. Results: The mean age of the patients was 44.89 ± 2.727 years. The youngest patient was 19 years old and the oldest was 74 years old. 50% male and 50% female. The proportion of patients with lesions in the left and right lungs were equal, accounting for 11.1%. Patients without lung lesions had the highest incidence rate of 77.8%. The patients without anxiety accounted for 63.9%, and the patients with anxiety accounted for 36.1%. The relationship between the age group and lung injury characteristics was statistically significant when p=0.000 (<0.05). Conclusion: The relationship between anxiety level and vulnerability traits was not statistically significant (p=0.354) >0.05. 30.8% of patients with an anxiety disorder had features of lung injury.
