1/6🧵So far this week, we have looked at rates and risk factors of testing positive for #SARSCoV2 in Amsterdam. But what actually happens to those with #COVID19 over time? 🤒🤧
2/6 The VIS/RECoVERED Study, a prospective cohort set up by @GGDAmsterdam & @amsterdamumc, aimed to explore the viro-immunological, clinical and psychosocial sequelae of #COVID19 up to 24 months after initial infection.📈🩺
3/6 In a paper published in Clinical Infectious Diseases (@IDSAInfo), the authors found that >80% with severe/critical, ~60% with moderate and ~30% with mild #COVID19 developed #longCOVID or #PASC (at least 1 symptom >12 weeks after illness onset). shorturl.at/dlBC4 Image
4/6 Overall, 2/5 of participants continued to have symptoms at 12 months after illness onset. 🤕
Risk factors for longer time to full recovery from symptoms were female sex and obesity, when adjusting for age and other comorbidities.
5/6 This highlights that #longCOVID can be common among symptomatic patients. In future research, we hope to investigate possible causes and effects of #longCOVID further. So stay tuned! 📊
6/6 Many thanks to the whole VIS/RECoVERED team, including @DebreeGJ, @AnoukVerveen, @vanGilsLab and many more.
