Study 2: Long-term bone and lung consequences
associated with hospital-acquired SARS
Another study is the 15 years prospective cohort study. They are actually looking at
the long-term bone and lung consequences associated with hospital-acquired
SARS [2]. However, I'm just focusing on the lung. Most of the cases will recover
from the pulmonary interstitial damage and the functional decline caused by SARS,
with a greater extent of recovery within two years after rehabilitation. So, you could
dispute the speculation that had been made before for COVID-19 patients. But of
course, we are not sure what we will face next for the COVID-19 recovered patients.
