简介
Methods
The information from participants was collected by an online questionnaire that was circulated among the population of India through emails and social media.
Results
A total of 706 responses were recorded from participants who recovered from COVID-19 from 20 Indian states. Males and females from all age groups took part in the online survey. Among them, 77% of the participants were not vaccinated, 17% were vaccinated with a single dose and 6% with a booster dose. An average of 27% of the total vaccinated participants had a comorbidity that included diabetes, hypertension, and pulmonary disease. Most of the patients with moderate to severe symptoms preferred allopathic treatment. The adoption level of allopathic treatment was significantly higher (p= 0.001) than that of other treatment options. The results showed that 12% of the patients adopted the Ayurvedic treatment and 14% preferred a mixed treatment. Approximately one-third of the participants had various post-COVID-19 complications that were related to breathing and anxiety.
Conclusions
The survey concluded that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infected almost the whole population irrespective of gender, age, and region. The study further concluded that vaccination is the main protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
