Introduction: Prolonged COVID-19 affects all systems of the organism, manifested by diverse signs and symptoms, which affect in the functionality of people overcome the infection. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the sequelae and functional status in patients with prolonged covid-19 in the province of Imbabura. Methods: A quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study. A sample of 322 elderly people with a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 was used. Results: Women and young adults were the largest analysis group in the research. It was identified that the age and schooling of the population represented a protective factor for overcoming sequelae more quickly and without limitations. Patients reported a sequelae duration of 1 to 3 months. The most affected system was the immune system, where low defenses reached the highest percentage (34.01%), followed by fatigue (29.34%), alopecia (25.80%), cough (22.79%), myalgia (22.75%), anxiety (20.05%), and anxiety (20.05%), 75%), anxiety (20.05%), headache (19.96%), anosmia (15.99%), sore throat (13.79%), chest palpitations (11.82%), abdominal pain (9.85%), and irregular menstrual cycle (8.68%). Conclusions: The results corroborate that more than half of the patients presented at least one symptom as a sequela, demonstrating the damage caused to the health of patients in the province. This emphasizes the need to strengthen public policies, research, follow-up, rehabilitation and treatment for patients with prolonged COVID-19.
