The COVID-19 pandemic hit individuals with chronic conditions the hardest. It is known that anxiety symptoms are frequent in post-COVID conditions. We want to examine whether multimorbidity is associated with anxiety in post-COVID patients. We reported descriptive statistics from 389 post-COVID patients and perform a linear regression with anxiety symptoms measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale. For each extra chronic condition, there was a mean increase of 0.11 in the HAD-anxiety score. However, there was a reduction for age and being male. These findings can potentially help policy-makers better organize post-COVID health services and improve patients care.
COVID-19 大流行对患有慢性病的个体影响最大。已知焦虑症状在新冠后(post-COVID)的情况中很常见。我们想研究多系统疾病是否与新冠后(post-COVID)患者的焦虑有关。我们报告了 389 名新冠后(post-COVID)患者的描述性统计数据，并使用医院焦虑和抑郁量表(HAD)测量焦虑症状进行线性回归。对于每一种额外的慢性疾病，HAD 焦虑评分平均增加 0.11。然而，年龄和性别则有所降低。这些发现可能有助于决策者更好地组织新冠后(post-COVID)的卫生服务和改善患者护理。
