A recent study by the National Institutes of Health has estimated that around 10% of people who contract COVID-19 may experience long COVID symptoms. This figure is lower than previous estimates, however, it is still a significant number when considering the millions of people worldwide who have suffered from long COVID. The study, which observed nearly 10,000 Americans, aims to improve understanding of the condition and identify distinguishing features of long COVID. The researchers have identified a dozen symptoms that may be indicative of long COVID after analysing data from COVID-19 patients and those who have not been infected. These symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, chronic cough and abnormal movements. However, the study authors cautioned that the list should not be used to diagnose patients with long COVID. It is only a research tool, and patients may experience other symptoms that are not listed. Defining long COVID is crucial to help diagnose and treat patients effectively, and this new research might offer insight into developing better treatments.
