Mechanical ventilation (univariable analyses).
Demographic and clinical features of a group of post COVID-19 patients associated to invasive.

Post COVID -19 symptoms according to mechanical ventilation requirements.
A comparison of the persistence of symptoms in general, whether a patient required invasive mechanical ventilation or not are shown. In the bar graph patients on invasive mechanical ventilation are represented by the blue column and the non-intubated patients are illustrated by the grey column. * Represents the statistically significant outcomes, according to P values.
Fig 3.
Post COVID-19 sequelae for IMV and non-IMV patients.
A comparative bar graph of post-covid sequelae, according to the requirements of IMV is represented. In the bar graph patients on invasive mechanical ventilation are represented by the blue column and the non-intubated patients are illustrated by the grey column. * Represents the statistically significant outcomes, according to P values.
