Summary Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic but the follow-up data of discharged patients was barely described. Aim To investigate clinical outcomes, distribution of quarantine locations and the infection status of the contacts of COVID-19 patients after discharge. Design A prospective cohort study. Methods Demographics, baseline characteristics of 131 COVID-19 patients discharged from 3 February 2020 to 21 February 2020 in Wuhan, China were collected and analyzed by reviewing the medical records retrospectively. Post-hospitalization data related to clinical outcomes, quarantine locations and close contact history were obtained by following up the patients every week up to 4 weeks. Results Fifty-three (40.05%) patients on discharge had cough (29.01%), fatigue (7.63%), expectoration (6.11%), chest tightness (6.11%), dyspnea (3.82%), chest pain (3.05%) and palpitation (1.53%). These symptoms constantly declined in 4 weeks post-discharge. Transient fever recurred in 11 (8.4%) patients. Among the discharged patients, 78 (59.5%) underwent chest CT and 2 (1.53%) showed deterioration. A total of 94 (71.8%) patients received SARS-CoV-2 retest and 8 (6.10%) reported positive. Seven (2.29%) patients were readmitted because of fever or positive SARS-CoV-2 retest. After discharge, 121 (92.37%) and 4 (3.05%) patients were self-quarantined at home or community spots, respectively, after a close contact with 167 persons in total who were free of COVID-19 at the endpoint of study. Conclusion The majority of COVID-19 patients after discharge were in the course of recovery. Readmission was required in rare cases due to suspected recurrence of COVID-19. Although no contacted infection observed, appropriate self-quarantine and regular re-examination are necessary, particularly for those who have recurred symptoms.

Opioid Medications

Our aim was to determine the frequency and characteristics of post-surgery prescription of opioid medication and to describe patients’ handling of discharge opioid medications. We performed a multicentre prospective cohort study of adult patients undergoing elective or emergency surgery with a postoperative stay of one or more nights, with phone follow-up at two weeks after hospital discharge. The main outcome measures included the proportion of patients prescribed discharge opioid medications, post-discharge opioid use, opioid storage and disposal. Of the 1450 eligible surgical patients, opioids were dispensed on discharge to 858 (59%, 95% confidence interval (CI) (57%–62%)), with immediate-release oxycodone the most common medication. Of the 581 patients who were discharged with opioid medication and completed follow-up, 27% were still requiring opioids two weeks after discharge. Post-discharge opioid consumption was highly variable in the study cohort. The majority (70%) of patients had leftover opioids and only a small proportion (5%) reported disposal of the surplus. In a multivariate model, patients with characteristics of age 45 years or less (odds ratio, OR = 1.78, 95% CI (1.36–2.33) versus older than 45 years), American Society of Anesthesiologists’ physical status (ASA) scores of 1 or 2 (OR = 1.96, 95% CI (1.52–2.53) versus ASA score 3 to 5), higher anticipated surgical pain (OR = 1.45, 95% CI (1.08–1.94) severe versus moderate, OR = 17.48, 95% CI (5.79–52.69) severe versus nil/mild) and public funding status (OR = 1.89, 95% CI (1.36–2.64) versus other) were more likely ( P < 0.001) to receive discharge opioids. Post-surgery prescription of opioids is common and supply is often excessive. Post-discharge opioid handling included suboptimal storage and disposal.
