Abstract

Abstract
Introduction: Musculoskeletal manifestations of COVID-19, post COVID-19, and post COVID-19 vaccination include arthralgia, myalgia, new-onset backache, fatigue, inflammatory arthritis either symmetrical or polyarticular, reactive arthritis, osteoporosis, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, neuropathies, myositis, and myopathies. Almost 15% and 44% of post-COVID-19 patients reported arthralgia and myalgia. We aim to analyze the musculoskeletal manifestations of COVID-19 infection and the factors determining their severity.

Methodology: This is a retrospective multicentric cross-sectional study conducted from all the four regions (northern, southern, eastern, and western regions) in India. The recruitment period was from June 1st, 2021, to September 30th, 2021. All patients with COVID-19 positivity in the past were classified into three groups (mild, moderate, and severe). The primary outcome is to find the correlation of musculoskeletal symptoms with disease positivity, severity, and demographic variables. We focused at clinical characteristics and symptoms at the time of admission, as well as comorbidities, laboratory findings, immunological findings, treatments, and outcomes.
