Huge healthcare burden of post-COVID-19 symptoms likely, suggests new study
How well do patients who had coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recover after the virus is cleared from their systems? A new preprint reports on symptom profiles over the first nine months of the illness.
The study, which appeared on the server, examined 301 participants, from May 2020 to the end of January 2021. About half had moderate COVID-19, a third had a mild illness, while about one in five had severe/critical disease, respectively. The median age was higher in the latter groups, while these patients were also heavier.
Other risk factors such as cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, immunosuppression and diabetes were all more common among those with severe or critical COVID-19 as well. Most of the patients were followed up prospectively, with 42 being lost to follow-up.

Chris Fletcher examines the implications of a recent IIAC report, which found some workers might be at greater risk of contracting coronavirus based on their occupation
The Industrial Injuries Advisory Council (IIAC) concluded in its recent report that certain workplaces were at increased risk of Covid because of job and workplace characteristics, with higher infection rates found in healthcare, social care and transport workers.
While it noted that coronavirus cannot be regarded as uniquely occupational, given that infection can occur in a number of non-workplace settings, it is a revealing report that should be of particular interest to insurers, public bodies and corporate entities that may face Covid infection claims now or in the future.
