Migraine, breathing issues could stay briefly after mild Covid, serious problems unlikely: Lancet Mohana Basu © Provided by The Print
New Delhi: The risk of delayed acute complications after SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients who did not need to be hospitalised is very low, a new study published in the Lancet journal said.
However, persistent symptoms such as breathing issues and migraines in these patients may lead to increased visits to general practitioners or outpatient clinics in the six months following infection, the researchers found.
The team from University of Southern Denmark assessed the risk of initiating medication and receiving a hospital diagnosis for a new condition by comparing individuals who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 with individuals who had a negative test during the first wave of the pandemic in Denmark.

Masked activists were seen in videos chanting and beating drums and a banner unfurled at the site read: We demand a people s vaccine .

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).

Ann Arbor, May 11, 2021 - Social isolation among older adults is associated with poor health and premature mortality, but the connection between social isolation and physical functioning is poorly understood. New research generates more robust evidence about the associations between social isolation and physical functioning and how this accelerates over time, reports the
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, published by Elsevier. It also highlights the importance of incorporating strategies to reduce social isolation and promote successful aging. Physical functioning is understood to influence the health of individuals. And social isolation is prevalent among older adults, explained lead investigator Borja del Pozo Cruz, PhD, Centre for Active and Healthy Ageing, Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark. However, the true extent of the relationship between social isolation and physical functioning was
