Progression of Symptoms in Post COVID-19 Patients: A Multicentre, Prospective, Observational Cohort Study

Biomedicines 2024, 12, 2493
> https://doi.org/10.3390/biomedicines12112493

Keywords: post COVID-19 condition; symptom progression; trajectories; dyspnoea; fatigue
Conclusion: Three distinct trajectories were identified for fatigue and dyspnoea, delineating patterns of symptom persistence in post COVID-19 patients. Sex, age, smoking status, participation in a lifestyle …weiterlesen intervention and COVID-19 severity were associated with the likelihood of belonging to different trajectories. These findings highlight the heterogeneity of the long-term symptoms experienced by post COVID-19 patients and emphasise the importance of personalised treatment strategies. Future research should focus on validating these findings in larger cohorts with a longer follow-up time and exploring treatments targeting modifiable risk factors to improve the long-term outcomes in COVID-19 survivors.

Long Covid: a global health issue – a prospective, cohort study set in four continents

BMJ Global Health 2024;9:e015245
> https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjgh-2024-015245

Conclusion: Our data show that Long Covid affects populations globally, manifesting similar symptomatology and impact on functioning in both HIC and LMICs. The prevalence was higher in HICs versus LMICs. Although …weiterlesen we identified a lower prevalence, the impact of Long Covid may be greater in LMICs if there is a lack of support systems available in HICs. Further research into the aetiology of Long Covid and the burden in LMICs is critical to implement effective, accessible treatment and support strategies to improve COVID-19 outcomes for all.

Prevalence and measurement of post-exertional malaise in post-acute COVID-19 syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis

General Hospital Psychiatry, Volume 91, 2024, Pages 130-142,
> https://doi.org/10.1016/j.genhosppsych.2024.10.011

Keywords: Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome; PACS; Long COVID; Post-exertional malaise; PEM; Prevalence; Measurement; Instrument
Conclusion: In summary, our findings underscore the high prevalence of PEM among patients with PACS, offering comprehensive information for further research endeavors. The pooled prevalence of PEM in PACS …weiterlesen patients three months after COVID-19 diagnosis was calculated at 0.55. Additionally, seven questionnaires containing PEM-related items were deployed for PEM screening purposes, with the DSQ-PEM being the most frequently utilized instrument.
