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

🤖 Plain-English Summary

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.

🔑 Key Findings

• 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.
• Objective: To estimate organ system-specific frequency and evolution of PASC.
• 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.
