Short-term and Long-term Rates of Postacute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Importance: Short-term and long-term persistent postacute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) have not been systematically evaluated. The most common PASC involved functional mobility impairments, pulmonary abnormalities, and mental health disorders.

⚡ This is an original paraphrased summary — not copied from the abstract. Full paper available at the source link below.

• 1 The incidence and evolution of PASC are dependent on time from infection, organ systems and tissue affected, vaccination status, variant of the virus, and geographic region.
• 2 Objective: To estimate organ system-specific frequency and evolution of PASC.
• 3 Evidence Review: PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, the World Health Organization Global Literature on Coronavirus Disease, and CoronaCentral databases were searched from December 2019 through March 2021.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
