Low-income parents reported struggling with family medical bills seven times more often than those above percent of the federal poverty level.
Financial hardships also extended to food insecurity 1 in 3 low-income parents and housing insecurity 4 in 10 parents.

The seven-day rolling average for daily new cases in the U. In Maine, which hit a pandemic high this week with nearly COVID patients in hospitals, as many as 75 members of the National Guard were being summoned to try to keep people out of critical care with monoclonal antibodies and to perform other non-clinical tasks.
Education should be provided that mild-to-moderate neurological symptoms are likely to have a full recovery. Level of evidence: Level 3b. Severe symptoms potentially may result in significant or life-changing impairment, therefore inpatient multidisciplinary rehabilitation is recommended for patients with moderate-to-severe neurological symptoms to maximise recovery.
Physical, cognitive and functional assessments should be considered to support return to work according to occupational setting. In the acute phase of COVID, there is a high incidence of medical complications, including hepatic, renal, haematological and gastrointestinal GI , but it is unclear how many of these complications will remain prevalent in the intermediate and chronic phases.
COVIDrelated nutritional issues exacerbate other areas, including skin quality, bone health and endocrine function. Also, raised amylase increases significantly the risk of diabetes development in the future. In the postacute phase, a full GI history is required at rehabilitation assessment to ensure any chronic problems are identified.
As diarrhoea can be a presenting complaint of COVID, ensuring any diarrhoea and vomiting is promptly isolated, and a CoV test considered seems prudent. Dietician input is valuable early on with supplements where indicated including a micronutrient blood panel if concerned about nutritional input during the acute phase of the illness.
It is important to check LFTs, including amylase, during recovery, so persistent abnormalities can be identified and either managed or referred on for management. It is important to check renal function where indicated during recovery phase to identify persistent abnormalities and need for further investigation.
Patients with abnormalities may need alterations to exercise regimes, hydration advice or referral to specialist services. Following SARS in , a post-SARS syndrome was described, with the same phenotype as postviral chronic fatigue syndrome, similar to fibromyalgia, with poor sleep, fatigue, myalgia and depression, with some unable to return to work as a result.
A good musculoskeletal assessment should identify areas for non-rheumatologists to address and specialised issues that require a rheumatology review.
A retrospective case series of SARS hospitalised patients in Singapore demonstrated that 11 individuals had a deep vein thrombosis, seven suffered from a pulmonary embolism PE four of which suffered both and a further four patients developed an ischaemic stroke suggesting that patients with SARS had increased susceptibility and prevalence of venous thromboembolism VTE as result of a hypercoagulable state.
COVID also has a direct and prominent effect on the haematopoietic system, leading to significant changes to the cell lines and hypercoagulability. In over cases in China, lymphocytopenia was the most common finding Deranged endocrine and other blood profiles have been seen following ICU spells; it is important to exclude these as organic causes of PICS.
Chronic hyperglycaemia as a result of diabetes mellitus impairs immune function, and Sick day rules, which involve increased monitoring of blood sugar and ketones, remaining hydrated and fed, increasing insulin as required and amending other diabetic medication on specialist advice, should be employed if anyone with diabetes develops COVID Investigations in the postacute phase should include an endocrine screen, to include monitoring for the onset of diabetes, when indicated.
Postacute assessment should include a full medical history and if indicated, an examination and panel of blood markers. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry should be considered in cases of prolonged immobilisation. In the presence of multiple pathologies or specialist issues, a rehabilitation consultant assessment is recommended with a multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitation, to manage the wide range of potential sequelae including a dietician with supplements and micronutrient blood panel if required.
If ongoing medical problems are identified, patients should be referred on to the appropriate medical specialty for further management. In post-COVID patients with new-onset shortness of breath or chest pain, life-threatening medical complications should be considered. COVID is a new disease only in circulation since late As a result, some of the articles cited are in preprint, and are themselves only reporting observational case series, with some journals fast-tracking publication of COVIDrelated research.
This has impacted the quality of evidence available. A key driver of this consensus statement has been the timely manner in which it has been produced. Although the current study does not follow a systematic review methodology, levels of the evidence have been applied to each recommendation to mitigate this. In order to produce an initial consensus statement to guide the initial phase of rehabilitation, the authors have aimed to capture a snapshot of current literature, and expect this body to grow, and therefore the authors will aim to update the recommendations accordingly.
A period of 6 months has been set to repeat the voting process. As this consensus statement is updated, the reliance on data from related conditions will decrease.
COVID is a global pandemic affecting individuals to varying degrees, ranging from a few days of mild symptoms to respiratory distress requiring ICU treatment including ventilatory support, and death. This document has set out the current available evidence for managing and rehabilitating potential key sequelae from COVID Unfortunately, there is sparse evidence and guidance available on how to best rehabilitate such patients.
A significant amount of the recommendations set out rely on extrapolating from the management and rehabilitation of complications of previous CoV epidemics. As COVID is predominantly a respiratory infection with severe cases requiring ventilatory support, rehabilitation following ICU treatment is also an area that guidance and evidence has been extrapolated from, to produce these recommendations. These recommendations could be considered the foundation for further evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for rehabilitation of COVIDrelated complications.
This document supports the clear need for further research and guidance regarding rehabilitation specific to COVID This will facilitate coordinated initial healthcare delivery for both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation settings. The UK military delivers a proportion of rehabilitation in a residential setting, with those requiring more intensive treatment historically admitted on a rolling inpatient basis at DMRC, punctuated by periods of home-based rehabilitation allowing for psychological recovery and family adjustment.
The optimal setting for delivery of rehabilitation is an existing and active area of UK military research. This consensus statement is intended for those planning at a population level for delivery of rehabilitation, leaders and members of MDTs as well as independent primary care and SEM practitioners.
Subsequent prospective cohort data capture has been planned in order to determine the validity of these recommendations and optimise future healthcare delivery.

Background In late a highly pathogenic novel coronavirus CoV , severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS -CoV-2, emerged, causing a global pandemic with millions of cases worldwide.
The illness severity pattern so far observed is as follows; Asymptomatic infected patients. Symptomatic patients isolating at home. Symptomatic patients admitted to hospital Symptomatic patients requiring ventilatory support in critical care.
Aims The aim of this consensus statement is to provide an overarching series of recommendations by assimilating the current evidence base for, and likely requirements of, rehabilitation post-COVID Methodology The rehabilitation physician cadre at Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre DMRC Stanford Hall held an initial meeting in person and by videoconference link on 6 April to discuss the aims of this statement defined above and a chair was appointed SB.

Psychological sequelae and rehabilitation recommendations Reviewing the impact of previous CoV epidemics on mental health demonstrates high levels of emotional distress as a result of anxiety, depression, fearfulness and stigmatisation. Musculoskeletal sequelae and rehabilitation recommendations The exact musculoskeletal consequences for patients with COVID has not yet been established. Medical sequelae and rehabilitation recommendations In the acute phase of COVID, there is a high incidence of medical complications, including hepatic, renal, haematological and gastrointestinal GI , but it is unclear how many of these complications will remain prevalent in the intermediate and chronic phases.
