Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the major sequelae and complications related to COVID-19, as well as describing its associated sequelae and how they impact the quality of life of individuals. Methodology: To constitute this integrative review, we selected the papers 20 articles that met the following criteria: texts in the form of articles, theses or dissertations available in full, which address the theme in Portuguese and English, published in the last four years. Results and discussion: It was possible to show the advances of knowledge about COVID-19 and the sequelae that acute phase involvement can leave in the lives of individuals. In addition, the post-COVID-19 syndrome is characterized by sequelae left after the acute phase and that minimize the quality of individuals. There are many persistent symptoms in this syndrome, such as: headache, persistent cough, post-exertion dyspnea, sleep-related disorders, anosmia, and vertigo. As the disease arose a few years ago, its sequelae are still being researched, so there is a great possibility of the existence of other post-covid clinical manifestations that will be studied and listed as new studies on this theme emerge. The sequelae of Covid-19 may impact the health of the disease-affected disease, both in the acute phase and after weeks. Conclusions: It is observed that the long-term manifestations are diverse and that symptoms vary from respiratory to neurological and there are changes in mental health. The sequelae of Covid-19 interfere in quality of life and make it difficult to perform daily activities and consequently affect productivity.
