Abstract
Objective: To evaluate COVID-19 complications among recovered patients and determine the association between these complications and patients' demographic data.
Methodology: This descriptive retrospective study was conducted from December 15th, 2021 to May 1st, 2022 in the city of Al-Najaf. A convenience (non-probability) sampling was used and 157 patients with COVID-19 disease were enrolled. The information was gathered using a specially designed questionnaire that was divided into three sections: sociodemographic traits, medical history, and the systematic COVID-19 Complications.
Results: Out of 157 patients, 73 were women and 84 men. Even after recovering from COVID-19, the patients continue to experience difficulties. Acute respiratory failure (46.5%), pneumonia (15.35%), blood hypercoagulability (35.7%), diarrhea (33.1%), myalgias (19.1%), and arthralgias (15.3%) were the most frequent consequences.
Conclusion: The study concluded that COVID-19 is a deadly virus that affects every system of the body and might lead to serious consequences that could endanger the patients' lives.

Key words: COVID-19, complications, acute respiratory failure, blood coagulability.
