Prevalence of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome symptoms at different follow-up periods: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Mohamad Salim Alkodaymi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of persistent symptoms and signs at least 12 weeks after acute COVID-19 and found that a large proportion of patients experience post-acute COVID-19 syndrome 3 to 12 months after recovery from the acute phase of COVID-19. However, available studies of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome are highly heterogeneous. Future studies need to have appropriate comparator groups, standardized symptom definitions and measurements, and longer follow-up.

Jan Choutka et al.

Summary: Unexplained post-acute infection syndromes (PAISs) represent a group of chronic illnesses with overlapping clinical features with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). This review summarizes the current knowledge of PAISs and discusses the need for basic biomedical research into the underlying mechanisms of these enigmatic chronic diseases, including the post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

Rehabilitation Interventions for Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome: A Systematic Review

Stefania Fugazzaro et al.

Summary: This systematic review investigates the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions for individuals with post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS). The study suggests that rehabilitation can improve dyspnea, anxiety, and kinesiophobia, although results on pulmonary function are inconsistent. However, improvements were detected in muscle strength, walking capacity, sit-to-stand performance, and quality of life. Further high-quality studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Post-COVID-19 fatigue: A systematic review

Jian Joli et al.

Summary: Fatigue is a common long-term complaint in individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2. Risk factors for post-COVID-19 fatigue include old age, female sex, severe clinical status, comorbidities, and prediagnosis of depression/anxiety. Various treatment approaches, including Chinese herbal formulation, molecular hydrogen inhalation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and enhanced external counterpulsation, have shown potential benefits. However, larger and controlled studies are needed to further investigate the effectiveness of physical and psychotherapy for post-COVID-19 fatigue.

Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome and its prolonged effects: An updated systematic review

Talal Almas et al.

Summary: This systematic review analyzed 21 studies on the prolonged clinical manifestations following recovery from acute COVID-19 infection, finding fatigue, dyspnea, alopecia, among other symptoms, to be common. Comprehensive multidisciplinary care and regular follow-up are required to address these symptoms effectively.

Calling for improved quality in the registration of traditional Chinese medicine during the public health emergency: a survey of trial registries for COVID-19, H1N1, and SARS

Zhuoran Kuang et al.

Summary: The study assessed the registration quality of traditional Chinese medicine clinical trials for COVID-19, H1N1, and SARS by examining records in the WHO ICTRP and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry. The findings indicate deficiencies in reporting detailed intervention and outcome information in the registered clinical trials of TCM.

More Than 100 Persistent Symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 (Long COVID): A Scoping Review

Lawrence D. Hayes et al.

Summary: With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more attention has been drawn to the persistent symptoms of long COVID, yet systematic reviews on the type and prevalence of symptoms are lacking. A study found that there are over 100 different symptoms reported in long COVID patients, with significant variations in prevalence, potentially related to unknown factors.

Follow-Ups on Persistent Symptoms and Pulmonary Function Among Post-Acute COVID-19 Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Qiuyue Long et al.

Summary: The study found that recovering COVID-19 patients exhibit long-term, multi-system symptoms, with the most extensive and persistent adverse effects on psychosocial health and lung functions. These findings will help guide further research on clinical treatments for the long-term post-acute phase symptoms affecting a large number of recovering patients.

Summary: COVID-19 infection is associated with persistent symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and insomnia. Current studies on symptom persistence are highly heterogeneous, and future research needs longer follow-up, improved quality, and more standardized designs to accurately quantify risks.
