Importance: Some individuals experience persistent symptoms after initial symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection (often referred to as Long COVID).
Objective: To estimate the proportion of males and females with COVID-19, younger or older than 20 years of age, who had Long COVID symptoms in 2020 and 2021 and their Long COVID symptom duration.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Bayesian meta-regression and pooling of 54 studies and 2 medical record databases with data for 1.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the prevalence of post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) in adults and children who were hospitalized after contracting COVID-19, using a defined WHO standard and conducting follow-ups at 6 and 12 months post-discharge.
- - Findings showed a PCC prevalence of 50% in adults and 20% in children at 6 months, decreasing to 34% and 11%, respectively, at 12 months; factors such as female sex and hypertension in adults, and neurological comorbidities in children were linked to higher PCC risk.
- - The results highlight the importance of monitoring for ongoing health issues following COVID-19, particularly in higher-risk groups, as a significant number of individuals experienced
Importance: While much of the attention on the COVID-19 pandemic was directed at the daily counts of cases and those with serious disease overwhelming health services, increasingly, reports have appeared of people who experience debilitating symptoms after the initial infection. This is popularly known as long COVID.
Objective: To estimate by country and territory of the number of patients affected by long COVID in 2020 and 2021, the severity of their symptoms and expected pattern of recovery.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated long-term symptoms in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, finding that 47.1% reported ongoing issues like fatigue, shortness of breath, and forgetfulness after discharge.
- Data was gathered from 2,649 patients in Moscow, focusing on their experiences 218 days post-discharge, showing that while many cases were mild, some required significant medical interventions.
- Female patients had a higher likelihood of persistent symptoms, particularly skin issues, while asthma was linked to neurological and mood-related changes.
Background: The long-term sequelae of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in children remain poorly characterised. This study aimed to assess long-term outcomes in children previously hospitalised with COVID-19 and associated risk factors.
Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of children (≤18 years old) admitted to hospital with confirmed COVID-19.

Background: The epidemiology, clinical course, and outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the Russian population are unknown. Information on the differences between laboratory-confirmed and clinically diagnosed COVID-19 in real-life settings is lacking.
Methods: We extracted data from the medical records of adult patients who were consecutively admitted for suspected COVID-19 infection in Moscow between 8 April and 28 May 2020.
