PARIS: Not even one in four people have completely recovered from Covid a full year after being hospitalized with the disease, a UK study indicated Sunday, warning that long Covid could become a common condition.The study involving more than 2,300 people also found that women were 33 percent less likely to fully recover than men.It also found that obese people were half as likely to fully recover, while those who needed mechanical ventilation were 58 percent less likely.
9 percent after a year, according to the study published in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal.'The limited recovery from five months to one year after hospitalisation in our study across symptoms, mental health, exercise capacity, organ impairment and quality-of-life is striking,' said study co-leader Rachel Evans of the National Institute for Health and Care Research.
