Ny studie om long covid

Enligt den här studien, som gjords med covid patienter som inte var så sjuka att de hamnade på sjukhus, utvecklade ungefär 67 % long covid symptom:

Det måste nog vara pga delta mutationen.

Det får mig att tänka på vad Hamilton sa, som efter det sista formel 1 loppet nästan inte kunde hålla sig på benen. Han sa att han tror att det beror på att han hade covid för ungefär ett halvt år. Han sa att sen dess är träningen annorlunda. Han tröttnar fortare både när han tränar och när han kör formel 1. Till och med unga människor i toppform verkar att kunna drabbas av long covid.

Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 in a non-hospitalized cohort: Results from the Arizona CoVHORT

Clinical presentation, outcomes, and duration of COVID-19 has ranged dramatically. While some individuals recover quickly, others suffer from persistent symptoms, collectively known as long COVID, or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). Most PASC research has focused on hospitalized COVID-19 patients with moderate to severe disease. We used data from a diverse population-based cohort of Arizonans to estimate prevalence of PASC, defined as experiencing at least one symptom 30 days or longer, and prevalence of individual symptoms. There were 303 non-hospitalized individuals with a positive lab-confirmed COVID-19 test who were followed for a median of 61 days (range 30–250). COVID-19 positive participants were mostly female (70%), non-Hispanic white (68%), and on average 44 years old. Prevalence of PASC at 30 days post-infection was 68.7% (95% confidence interval: 63.4, 73.9). The most common symptoms were fatigue (37.5%), shortness-of-breath (37.5%), brain fog (30.8%), and stress/anxiety (30.8%). The median number of symptoms was 3 (range 1–20). Amongst 157 participants with longer follow-up (≥60 days), PASC prevalence was 77.1%.
