Description
Edita Strumiliene and co-authors follow survivors of severe COVID pneumonia for a year in a 2024 study. Eighty-five adults treated at a Vilnius hospital for severe or critical disease are checked at three, six, and twelve months after discharge. Lung function tests, high resolution chest scans, and immune cell counts track recovery over time.
Lung capacity and gas transfer improve clearly across the year, they find. One measure, residual volume, does not change much, hinting that some limits linger. Scans look for leftover inflammation and scarring patterns. Most patients had critical disease, and the median age sits near sixty. The work maps how slow full recovery can be.
