dc.description.abstractObjectives: The effects of the novel coronavirus on the musculoskeletal system have been reported with wide variability. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and if these correlated with other patient characteristics. Methods: This was a retrospective review of 685 admitted patients who were found to be positive for COVID-19 during their admission. Based on a standard COVID-19 questionnaire, we recorded complaints of new onset myalgias, joint pain, back pain, and muscle weakness and performed a chart review for all existing comorbidities. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the association between various comorbidities and orthopedic manifestations of COVID-19 patients. Results: Of the 685 patients who tested positive for COVID-19, 186 patients presented with at least one orthopedic manifestation (27.1%). Patients that experienced orthopedic manifestations were significantly younger at 53.7 years of age compared to 58.1 years of age (p ¼ 0.003) with a significantly higher BMI (body mass index) at 32.6 versus 30.0 (p ¼ 0.022). Patients that had diabetes or were obese had significantly higher rates of orthopedic manifestations while those that had heart or lung disease had significantly fewer. Conclusion: Obese and diabetic patients had significantly higher rates of orthopedic symptoms during COVID-19 infection. Further studies need to be carried out in these populations to determine if these comorbidities during infection have an effect on the musculoskeletal system in the perioperative setting and after recovery from infection.en_US
