Those with mild COVID-19 seek more primary care than uninfected peers

eggeeggjiew / iStock Although nonhospitalized COVID-19 patients are at low risk for delayed complications, they visit their general practitioner or clinic more often than their uninfected peers in the 6 months after testing positive, finds a population-based study published yesterday in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. The study, led by researchers from the University of Southern Denmark, involved comparing 8,983 living, nonhospitalized COVID-19 patients with 80,894 Danish residents who tested negative for the virus from Feb 27 to May 31, 2020. Both groups were followed for 2 weeks to 6 months after testing. Both groups were at similar risk for being diagnosed as having a new health condition at a hospital (risk difference [RD], 26.3% vs 28.8%), but COVID-19 patients were more likely to be diagnosed as having breathing problems (RD, 1.2% vs 0.7%; adjusted RR [aRR], 2.00) or venous thromboembolism (blood clots in the veins) (RD, 0.2% vs 0.1%; aRR, 1.77).

Six months after COVID-19 infection, most patients still suffer from at least one symptom – study – Manila Bulletin

Published January 30, 2021, 9:41 PM PARIS More than three quarters of people hospitalized with COVID-19 still suffered from at least one symptom after six months, according to a study published early this month that scientists said shows the need for further investigation into lingering coronavirus effects. The research, which was published in the Lancet medical journal and involved hundreds of patients in the Chinese city of Wuhan, is among the few to trace the long-term symptoms of COVID-19 infection. It found that fatigue or muscle weakness were the most common symptoms, while people also reported sleeping difficulties. “Because COVID-19 is such a new disease, we are only beginning to understand some of its long-term effects on patients’ health,” said lead author Bin Cao, of the National Center for Respiratory Medicine.
