Résumé
The aim of this study was to investigate the pulmonary function of pediatric patients with COVID-19 after recovery. Pediatric patients aged 5-18 years hospitalized with diagnoses of COVID-19 and discharged with recovery were included in this prospective study. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were performed through spirometry. The patient group consisted of 34 children and the control group of 33. The forced vital capacity (FVC%) values of the control and patient groups were 110.62±11.71 and 94.21±13.68 (p<0.001), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1%) values were 104.91±6.26 and 98.67±14.93 (p=0.032), FEV1/FVC% values were 108.50±8.81 and 101.06±24.89 (p=0.034), and forced expiratory flow (FEF) 25-75% values were 106.71±6.68 and 101.85±24.89, respectively (p=0.286). However, Spearman correlation analysis revealed moderate negative correlation between length of hospital stay and FEF 25-75% (r=-0.364, p=0.35). PFTs in pediatric patients after recovery from COVID-19 were abnormal in the present study. The results were significant in terms of the development of mixed-type lung disease. Further long- and short-term studies are now needed for a better understanding of the prognosis in these patients.
