The risk for long COVID seemed to be greater among those who needed hospitalization, especially those who needed intensive care.
The study team, which included dozens of researchers across nearly every continent, analyzed data from 54 studies and two databases for more than 1 million patients in 22 countries who had symptomatic COVID infections in 2020 and 2021. They looked at three long COVID symptom types: persistent fatigue with bodily pain or mood swings, ongoing respiratory problems, and cognitive issues. The study included people ages 4 to 66.
At 3 months after infection, long COVID symptoms were nearly twice as common in women who were at least 20 years old, at 10.6%, as compared with men who were at least 20 years old, at 5.4%. The estimated average duration of long COVID symptoms was 9 months among hospitalized patients and 4 months among those who weren't hospitalized. About 15% of people with long COVID symptoms 3 months after the initial infection continued to have symptoms at 12 months.
