Overview

Covid-19 infection is associated with pulmonary complications such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, hypoxemia, superinfection, respiratory failure, and increased mortality in patients with an underlying pulmonary disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Complications

Acute respiratory distress syndrome

Pneumonia

Pulmonary embolism

Hypoxemia

Superinfection

Respiratory failure

Increased mortality in COPD patients

  • According to a study conducted in China, having an underlying comorbidity such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) conferred a mortality hazard ratio of 2.681, even after adjusting for smoking status.
