| Description: |
Research to investigate the duration of symptoms following COVID and danger indicators associated with them among recovered individuals. Given the widespread impact of COVID-19, understanding these aspects is crucial for effective management and support for those affected. Researchers conducted phone interviews with 186 healthcare professionals who were COVID-19-recovered.To evaluate the association between pre-existing conditions, demographic variables, and the probability of enduring long-term COVID-19 effects, logistic regression (LR) analysis was used. Analysis of the data revealed that a significant proportion of individuals experienced multiple acute post-COVID symptoms, with exhaustion being the most commonly reported (44,1 %). Risk factors for prolonged post-COVID symptoms were identified through logistical regression analysis, with female sex and pre-existing medical conditions being associated with increased odds ratios (OR) (OR, 2, 18; 96 % CI, 1,09-4,78; p-value 0,031, OR 2,78; 94 % CI, 1,26-6,07). This study highlights the frequency of both transient and chronic symptoms of COVID-19 among medical doctors who have recovered from the disease. The findings suggest that female sex and pre-existing medical conditions are significant risk factors for experiencing prolonged post-COVID effects. |
