Higher chance of dying within 1 year of Covid hospitalisation: ICMR study

The present analyses only included patients who were hospitalised due to Covid-19, and, consequently, the findings cannot be generalised to all patients who had Covid-19. Moderate-to-severe disease, being linked to post discharge all-cause mortality, indicates lingering damage due to Covid-19, it said. Some reports have claimed that the severity of pneumonia had no bearing on post-discharge mortality.
