Health Care Resource Use and Total Mortality After Hospital Admission for Severe COVID-19 Infections During the Initial Pandemic Wave in France: Descriptive Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known about post-hospital health care resource use (HRU) of patients admitted for severe COVID-19, specifically for the care of patients with postacute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS).

Objective

A list of HRU domains and items potentially related to PACS was defined, and potential PACS-related HRU (PPRH) was compared between the pre- and post-COVID-19 periods, to identify new outpatient care likely related to PACS.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was conducted with the French National Health System claims data (SNDS). All patients hospitalized for COVID-19 between February 1, 2020, and June 30, 2020 were described and investigated for 6 months, using discharge date as index date. Patients who died during index stay or within 30 days after discharge
