A study by the Indian Council of Medical Research published recently said that nearly 6.5% people hospitalized with Covid-19 died in the following year.

Key Findings of the Study on Post-Covid-19 Outcomes:

  • The study examined data from 14,419 patients in 31 hospitals.
  • 6.5% of those hospitalized with Covid-19 died within a year.

  • 17.1% of participants reported post-Covid-19 conditions, including fatigue, breathlessness, and cognitive issues.
    • People with post-Covid-19 conditions were nearly three times more likely to die.
  • The study used its own definition of post-Covid-19 conditions due to the absence of official definitions during patient enrollment.
