Summary
This 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis synthesises published prevalence data on long-COVID symptoms across different follow-up periods following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. The work characterises symptom burden and temporal persistence patterns to inform understanding of post-acute COVID-19 sequelae trajectories. As a clinical epidemiology synthesis with no explicit focus on food, farming systems, or nutritional intervention, this paper sits outside the core scope of Pulse Brain but may inform discussion of nutritional support for post-COVID recovery.
Regional applicability
The study synthesises global published evidence without explicit geographic restriction, making findings applicable across health systems including the United Kingdom. However, regional variation in symptom prevalence and healthcare access patterns may influence the generalisability of pooled estimates to UK populations.
Key measures
Prevalence estimates of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome symptoms at multiple follow-up time points
Outcomes reported
The study quantified the prevalence of various long-COVID symptoms across different follow-up periods post-infection. It synthesised published evidence to characterise symptom burden and persistence trajectories over time.
