45 percent of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 left the hospital in “worse condition” after being discharged, according to a new study.
Conducted by the University of Michigan, the study was published in the journal PM&R and assessed the outcomes of nearly 300 patients. “They analyzed patients’ discharge locations, therapy needs at the time of release and if they needed durable medical equipment or other services,” a summary notes.
Investigators found that “ 45 percent of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 experienced significant functional decline after being discharged .”
Patients “survived, but these people left the hospital in worse physical condition than they started,” noted lead author Alecia K. Daunter, M.D ., before adding “if they needed outpatient therapy or are now walking with a cane, something happened that impacted their discharge plan.”
Of COVID-19 survivors who experienced functional decline, 80 percent were referred for additional therapy after being discharged. “Nearly 20% of all patients lost so much ability, they were not able to live independently after their release,” the study adds.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
