Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection , is a condition where individuals continue to experience symptoms or develop new symptoms after recovering from acute COVID-19 infection. The symptoms of long COVID can be wide-ranging and may include fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, joint pain, headache, brain fog, difficulty sleeping, and depression or anxiety.
The findings confirmed that 29% of patients with long COVID had multi-organ impairment, with persistent symptoms and reduced function at six and 12 months. 59% of long COVID patients had single organ impairment 12 months after initial diagnosis. He said: “Impact on quality of life and time off work, particularly in healthcare workers, is a major concern for individuals, health systems and economies. Many healthcare workers in our study had no prior illness, but of 172 such participants, 19 were still symptomatic at follow-up and off work at a median of 180 days.”
