Introduction COVID-19 had a significant impact on the mental health of affected population. Such multifactorial risk for deterioration suggests need to identify groups patients with psychiatric vulnerability and establish strategies intervention based scientific evidence. Objectives The aim study was outcomes one year after recovery possible associations between these clinical, anamnestic, sociodemographic variables. Methods Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview employed assess current lifetime illness in cohort 100 discharged March April 2020 from wards San Paolo Hospital Milan, Italy. Kendall rank correlation coefficient administered measure ordinal association clinical-demographic variables diagnoses patients. Bivariate used explore sample characteristics. Results Almost third subjects screened positive diagnosis new disorder, novel onset morbidity did not differ significantly without history (42 58%). New disorders were grouped into stress reactions, anxiety-group mood disorders. Concerning demographic characteristics, advanced age represented protective factor against (rτ = -0,203, p =0,008). Despite lower contracting infection, women our more vulnerable post-Covid symptoms =0,190, =0,029). some pre-admission factors, such as an overweight condition =0,185, =0,026) medical cigarette smoking =0,203, =0,026), statistically significant. Moreover, who reported taking therapy control infection prior hospitalization likely receive diagnose =0,269, =0,005). Of note, related severity oxygenation intensity, days hospitalization, or requirement intensive car associated diagnoses. Conclusions shows relevant frequency hospitalized COVID-19, suggesting that services should structure adequate screening methods. Three levels can also be expected reduce overall burden morbidity: increasing awareness regarding modifiable factors; guaranteeing minimal level support COVID-19; providing personalized interventions respect gender groups.
