ABSTRACT
Background:
COVID-19 disease results in disparate responses between individuals and has led to the emergence of Long-COVID, characterized by persistent and cyclical symptomology. To understand the complexity of Long-COVID, the importance of symptom surveillance and prospective longitudinal studies is evident.Methods:
A 9-month longitudinal prospective cohort study was conducted within Scotland (n=287), using a mobile app to determine the proportion of recovered individuals, those with persistent symptoms, common symptoms, and associations with gender and age.Results:
3.1% of participants experienced symptoms at month 9, meeting the criteria for Long-COVID, as defined by the NICE terminology. Fatigue, cough, and muscle pain were the most common symptoms at baseline, with fatigue persisting the longest, while symptoms like cough improved rapidly. Older age increased the likelihood of reporting pain and cognitive impairment. Female gender increased the likelihood of headaches and post-exertional malaise (PEM), and increased recovery time from fatigue and PEM.Conclusions:
The majority of people fully recover from acute COVID-19, albeit often slowly. Age and gender play a role in symptom burden and recovery rates, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches to Long-COVID management. Further analysis is required to determine the characteristics of the individuals still reporting ongoing symptoms months after initial infection to identify risk factors and potential predictors for the development of Long-COVID.
