Many Adults and kids may report shortness of breath after recovery from COVID-19 infection: Study
Research evidence describes new and persistent symptoms and conditions as potential post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).
- Out of 3,091,580 adults, 316,249 were SARS-CoV-2 positive, and 2,775,331 were negative.
- Among 675,643 children, 62,131 were positive and 613,512 negative.
- Hospitalized adults and children who had positive tests had increased odds of being diagnosed with more than 1 symptom, with aOR of 1.17 and 1.18 for adults and children, respectively.
- The aOR for shortness of breath in adults and children were 1.50 and 1.40, respectively, 31–150 days following a SARS-CoV-2 test when compared to those who were hospitalized individuals with a negative test.
- Hospitalized adults with a positive test had a higher risk of being diagnosed with ≥ 3 symptoms or fatigue.
- Among hospitalized adults with a positive test, there were higher risks of being newly diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, haematological disorder or respiratory disease with aHR of 1.25, 1.19 and 1.44, respectively.
- Non-hospitalized adults with a positive test also had a greater risk of being diagnosed with specific symptoms or conditions.
We observed that variations in symptoms and conditions after SARS-CoV-2 infection were more pronounced among hospitalized patients than non-hospitalized individuals. This aligns with previous literature indicating that individuals with severe acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, such as those requiring hospitalization, are at increased risk of experiencing post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) symptoms and conditions.
