Study of XXXX Survivors in Guinea.

@entity1 @entity2598 @entity448 @entity158 @entity4841
BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of data regarding health consequences of @entity2598 among survivors. METHODS: We surveyed 105 @entity2598 survivors postdischarge from an Ebola treatment unit in Guinea using a standard data collection form. @entity1 rated recovery as the percentage of improvement in functional status, where 0% represents "unable to perform" and 100% represents "able to perform at prior level." RESULTS: The mean    standard deviation time interval between hospital discharge and administration of questionnaire was 103.5    47.9 days in 105 survivors. @entity448 was reported by 103 @entity1 , with varying severity levels: mild (n = 33), moderate (n = 65), or severe (n = 5). Reported @entity158 according to site was chest (30.7%), joint (86.7%), muscle (26.7%), and back (45.7%), among others. Recovery in functional status was graded as mild (10%-30%) (n = 2 [1.9%]), moderate (40%-70%) (n = 52 [50.0%]), and excellent (80%-100%) (n = 50 [48.1%]). Severity of @entity4841 (R(2) = 0.09; P = .008) was directly associated with lower recovery in functional status in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: @entity2598 survivors frequently reported @entity448 and @entity4841 . Severity of @entity4841 was related to lower functional recovery. There may be a role for focused screening and intervention for symptoms identified in this study of survivors.
