Background: Clinical trajectory and potential predictors for post-acute covid-19 are largely unknown. Methods: One hundred fifty one patients with COVID-19 infection and features suggestive of pneumonia were enrolled in the analysis. Results: Mild lung injury and high platelet mean volume(PMV) were predictors for complete recovery. Low Hb at presentation, length of ICU stay, extensive lung injury, old age and shortness of breath at presentation were predictors for persistent shortness of breath, while high Hb, extensive lung injury, and productive cough at presentation were predictors for persistent fatigue. Conclusion: mild lung injury and high PMV were predictors for complete recovery.
