Long-term health issues following COVID-19

The Hindu  

In May 2023, WHO declared the emergency phase of the pandemic to be over. The Washington University/VA St. Louis Health Care System group looked at 1,38,818 people who survived COVID-19, among whom 20,580 were hospitalised. Among 80 health conditions that comprise Long COVID, 65% conditions persisted at two years in the hospitalised group, while 31% persisted in the latter. Compared with uninfected individuals, those who had prior COVID-19 had greater risk of blood clots, lung disease, fatigue, digestive ailments, muscle and joint problems and diabetes for up to two years. Among those who survived the first six months, the death rate declined afterwards, unexpectedly dropping below the average death risk of the comparison group.
