Abstract (English): Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, a highly contagious virus belonging to the Coronaviridae family. It is transmitted from person to person through the air. The clinical presentation ranges from mild to severe can be fatal. Worldwide, 10-20% of people who recover from the acute phase may continue to experience symptoms for a longer period. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of post-SARS-CoV-2 sequelae in staff of a tertiary healthcare institution, five years after the beginning of the pandemic, and to describe the types of sequelae by sex and year of onset according to the different infection episodes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted based on self-administered surveys. The study population consisted of 179 participants. Sequelae were evaluated in relation to the different infection episodes. Results: A peak in health impact on staff was observed during 2022 (37%). 59.2% of the population presented some type of sequelae; the majority (95%) experienced some sequelae after the first episode of infection. The most prevalent sequelae were neurological and state of mind (66.4%), musculoskeletal (51.5%), and respiratory (36.6%), with a predominance in females (p = 0.05). Conclusions: The obtained results are similar to those reported in previous studies. The most prevalent sequelae were neurological and persisted throughout the study period, primarily in women.

Abstract (Spanish): La COVID-19, es una enfermedad causada por el SARS-CoV-2, virus contagioso de rápida transmisión perteneciente a la familia Coronaviridae. Se transmite de persona a persona por vía aérea. El cuadro clínico varía de leve a severo, pudiendo ocasionar la muerte. En el mundo el 10-20% de las personas que se recuperan del cuadro agudo pueden persistir con síntomas por más tiempo. Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de secuelas post SARS-CoV-2 en el personal de una Institución de Salud de tercer nivel de atención, después de 5 años del inicio de la pandemia, y describir los tipos de secuelas por sexo y año de aparición de acuerdo con los diferentes episodios de infección. Método: Se realizó un estudio transversal basado en encuestas autoaplicadas. La población de estudio fue de 179 participantes. Se evaluaron las secuelas con relación a los diferentes episodios de infección. Resultados: Se observó un pico máximo de afectación sanitaria en el personal durante el año 2022 (37%). El 59.2% de la población presentó algún tipo de secuela; la mayoría (95%) presentó alguna secuela posterior al primer episodio de infección. Las secuelas más prevalentes fueron las neurológicas y del estado mental (66.4%), musculoesqueléticas (51.5%) y respiratorias (36.6%), con predominio en el sexo femenino (p = 0.05). Conclusión: Los resultados obtenidos son similares a los reportados en estudios previos. Las secuelas más prevalentes fueron las neurológicas y permanecen a lo largo del periodo de estudio, principalmente en mujeres. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
