Survivors of Ebola virus disease have a higher than normal risk of dying within a year of leaving the hospital, most likely from kidney damage. This information comes from a study of survivors of Ebola in Guinea. Researchers followed more than 1,100 people who were infected with the virus and survived. They found that their death rates a year after leaving hospitals were up to five times higher than the number expected in Guinea's normal population. Ebola infected 28,000 people across West Africa between 2013 and 2016. More than 11,300 of them died from the disease. Death rates were higher among those who were in the hospital for longer periods, the study found. This suggests that patients who had the most severe cases of Ebola may have a higher risk for death after they were treated. The researchers say the findings show an urgent need for more investigation of the long-term effects of Ebola infection. They noted that the number of Ebola survivors has risen sharply after two large epidemics in the past five years. The current Ebola outbreak in Democratic Republic of Congo is now the world's second largest in history. The first infection was reported in August of 2018. The disease has spread and infected nearly 3,000 people in the DRC, killing more than 60 percent. Scientists said it was not possible to give the exact cause or date of death for many patients. There were few medical documents available. But studies have found that the virus can be found in patients' liquid wastes, which means the kidneys are infected. Some patients with Ebola develop a serious kidney injury.

四、背景知识
根据“柳叶刀传染病”杂志发表的一项对1,130人的观察性研究，在出院后的一年，埃博拉幸存者的死亡率比一般几内亚人口的死亡率高5倍(55人死亡，11人死亡)。在整个随访期间，报告了59例死亡，其中37例初步归因于肾功能衰竭，这是基于家人对死者症状的报告。记录的59例死亡中有43例死亡的确切日期未知。在16名初始幸存者中，有确切的死亡日期，其中5人在埃博拉治疗单位出院后一个月内死亡，另外3人在出院后3个月内死亡，4人在出院后3至12个月死亡，4人死亡更多出院后一年多。作者认为，随着时间的推移死亡的分布以及超过60%的死亡可能是由于肾功能衰竭的结果，这表明大多数死亡与埃博拉的长期影响有关。
