Analysis of the functional capacity of obese in the pre-operative phase of post-covid-19 bariatric surgery
Abstract
Introduction: Individuals who have had COVID-19 may show changes in physical, cognitive, mental and social capacity. However, little is known about the persistent impairment of functional capacity in obese individuals. Objective: To analyze the functional capacity of obese individuals in the preoperative phase of post-COVID-19 bariatric surgery. Materials and Method: This is a cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study, approved by the Research Ethics Committee. The instruments used are validated, they were applied face-to-face and via teleservice, namely: Questionnaire for the Characterization of the Participant and their General Health Condition, Functional Independence Scale, Modified Borg Scale and the Post-COVID-Functional Status Scale. 19 (PCFS). In the statistical analysis, in addition to continuous variables and categories, the data normality test and correlation tests were performed. Results and discussion: Sixty-seven obese patients were evaluated, of which only 17 participants required hospitalization, and 14 patients required ventilatory support (77.8%), with oxygen therapy being the most used (71.4%). Most patients had mild severity of COVID-19 (73.1%), complete independence (94%) and reported having difficulty returning to Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) (53.7%). There was a significant association of functional capacity, dyspnea and fatigue with difficulty returning to ADLs. Conclusion: In this study, it was found that the majority of obese patients had mild COVID-19 condition and did not have post-COVID-19 functional limitations. However, the majority reported difficulty in returning to ADLs, considering that functional capacity, dyspnea and fatigue were significantly associated with self-reported difficulty in returning to ADLs.
