MedPageToday – Long COVID — defined as one or more clusters of symptoms lasting 3 months or longer — occurred in about 6% of people with symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, a modeling study based on 1.2 million global COVID patients showed. After adjusting for pre-COVID health status, an estimated 6.2% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 2.4-13.3) of people with symptomatic infection experienced at least one of three long COVID symptom clusters in 2020 and 2021, according to Theo Vos, PhD, of the University of Washington in Seattle, and colleagues from the Global Burden of Disease Long COVID Collaborators group in JAMA.
