As the new crown epidemic continues to spread, it is becoming more and more urgent to understand the impact of "long covid" on survivors of the new crown
88% of patients employed before COVID-19 returned to their original jobs after 12 months
The above findings come from a study published in The Lancet on August 28, local time
Academy of Sciences The study was conducted on 1276 survivors of the new crown who were discharged from Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital from January 7 to May 29, 2020 (accounting for 58% of the survivors discharged from Jinyintan at that time) for 6 months and 12 months after discharge.
At present, there is no unified definition of "Changxinguan"
Long-term COVID-19 symptoms may occur in anyone who is infected with COVID-19, including those with mild or asymptomatic infections
Some patients with COVID-19 get better within a few days or weeks, but for others, symptoms of "long-term COVID-19" will appear
The symptoms of “long-term new crown” have been significantly relieved one year after most of the new crown survivors were discharged from the hospital
This study also evaluated the impact of "Changxinguan" on the work of survivors
However, some "long-term new crown" symptoms did not recover well after 1 year
Studies have confirmed that women are more likely to have "long-term new crown" symptoms
Previous studies have also found that female survivors of the new crown are more likely to have "long-term new crown" symptoms
It is currently unclear why women have more pronounced "new crown" symptoms
The study also shows that older people are more likely to have anxiety or depression and diffusion disorders
"The Lancet" published an editorial stating that the scientific and medical communities must cooperate to explore the mechanism and pathogenesis of long-term COVID, estimate the global and regional disease burden, better describe the population at greatest risk, understand how vaccines affect the disease, and adopt Randomized controlled trials find effective treatments
At the same time, health care providers must recognize and verify the long-term impact of COVID on patients' persistent symptoms, and health systems need to develop personalized, patient-oriented goals
