Abstract BACKGROUND Impaired lung function and fibrotic scarring of the lungs following severe COVID-19 infection are well-known manifestations. However, the risk factors and predisposing factors are still unknown. This study explored whether serological biomarkers for collagen synthesis associate with impaired lung function and fibrotic scarring after COVID-19 infection. METHODS In a prospective, observational cohort study […]
