By Nidhi Saha, BDSDec 15 2022Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. A recent study published in the International Forum of Allergy and Rhinology discusses ear, nose, and throat -related post-acute symptoms of the coronavirus disease 2019 , of which include vertigo, dyspnea, anosmia, ageusia, and sore throat. Furthermore, post-acute or long COVID symptoms were found to be more common in females and White identifying individuals between the ages of 35-49 years, as well as the disabled.
Current estimates indicate that long COVID currently affects between 3% and 12% of the population in the United Kingdom. Although post-viral syndromes are widely documented following other types of infection, the scale of long COVID, combined with the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2, necessitates a better understanding of the epidemiology and risk factors of this syndrome.
In a longitudinal follow-up program involving patients identified through repeated cross-sectional national surveys, a random sample of volunteers residing in private households was selected. The participants selected were aged two years or older. Children under the age of 12 were surveyed by their parents and caregivers.
Self-reported long COVID syndrome was defined as symptoms persisting for more than four weeks after the first suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection, without being explained by any other factor. With adjustments for age, sex, and region, Bayesian multilevel regression post-stratification was used for the final analysis.
