Abstract
- Abstract We evaluated the impacts of COVID‐19 on multi‐organ and metabolic function in patients following severe hospitalised infection compared to controls. Patients (n = 21) without previous diabetes, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease were recruited 5–7 months post‐discharge alongside controls (n = 10) with similar age, sex and body mass. Perceived fatigue was estimated (Fatigue Severity Scale) and the following were conducted: oral glucose tolerance (OGTT) alongside whole‐body fuel oxidation, validated magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy during resting and supine controlled exercise, dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry, short physical performance battery (SPPB), intra‐muscular electromyography, quadriceps strength and fatigability, and daily step‐count. There was a greater insulin response (incremental area under the curve, median (inter‐quartile range)) during the OGTT in patients [18,289 (12,497–27,448) mIU/min/L] versus controls [8655 (7948–11,040) mIU/min/L], P
