Millions struggle: The hidden impact of post-COVID conditions on US adults COVID19 postCOVIDconditions SARSCoV2 longCOVID publichealth pandemic healthcare research PASC JIDJournal idsainfo HIVMA
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.May 4 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. The rapid outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 resulted in the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Typically, COVID-19 causes mild infection; however, some individuals experience post-acute sequelae, or long COVID, that persist for a prolonged period.
At present, scientists face several challenges in defining PCC and determining its prevalence. This is primarily due to the presence of non-specific symptoms and the gap in knowledge regarding the duration and pathophysiology of PCC. Furthermore, there is a lack of long-term follow-up reports on PCC.
Related StoriesTo estimate the point prevalence of PCC, November 1, 2021, was selected to allow for at least a one-month interval between the time of infection and PCC manifestation. In addition, the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant and its sublineages were also assessed. For 22%, 44%, and 34% of infected individuals, the time between infection and November 1, 2021, was between one and six months, seven to 12 months, and more than 12 months, respectively.
