Deaths potentially averted by small changes in physical activity and sedentary time: an individual participant data meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies BACKGROUND The effects of small, realistic changes in physical activity and sedentary behaviour on population-level mortality are...

Neurological sequela of COVID-19 in adults with multiple sclerosis BACKGROUND Possible interactions in neuropsychiatric presentations of multiple sclerosis (MS) and COVID-19 may occur, which has been proposed in previous, albeit limited, literature. OBJECTIVES Examine COVID-19 disease...

Factors associated with long COVID among cancer survivors: A population-based analysis Case; Sabik; Grant INTRODUCTION Cancer survivors endure unique immune system suppression as a result of their cancer treatment, potentially making them susceptible to long COVID in ways that differ from the...

Understanding how social determinants of health shape Long COVID outcomes: a rapid review of evidence [Line breaks added] Background Long COVID affects over 65 million people worldwide, yet the impact of social determinants of health (SDoH), such as socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity...

Impact of Prior History of Traumatic Stress on Autonomic and Multi-System Symptoms Following COVID-19 Infection [Line breaks added] Background Persistent symptoms of autonomic dysregulation are common after COVID-19 infection and may result from alterations in central and/or peripheral...

SARS-CoV-2 Infection Is Associated With an Increased Risk of Hospital-Treated Infectious Mononucleosis due to EBV: National Register-Based Cohort Study There is evidence that persistent dysregulation of the immune system caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection may increase susceptibility to other...

Increase in Fall-Related Fatalities in the Home Following the COVID-19 Pandemic Onset BACKGROUND Falls are a leading cause of injury and death in older adults (age ≥ 65 years). The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States (US) marked a transition into a period of greater social...

Long COVID and Reduced Thrombosis in Antihistamine Treated Patients: An Observational Study in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona BACKGROUND Early evidence from a nursing home in Yepes (Toledo, Spain) indicated that antihistamines combined with azithromycin prevented deaths and...

MTHFR allele and one-carbon metabolic profile predict severity of COVID-19 While the public health burden of SARS-CoV-2 infection has lessened due to natural and vaccine-acquired immunity, emergence of less virulent variants, and antiviral medications, COVID-19 continues to take a significant...

Occupational determinants of Long COVID in the population-based COVICAT cohort OBJECTIVES Occupational factors affect SARS-CoV-2 infection risk, but the occupational factors associated with Long COVID (LC) are unknown. We aimed to address this issue using individual data in a population-based...

Functional Neurological Disorder Following COVID-19: Results From a Large International Electronic Health Record Database BACKGROUND Following COVID-19, an increased risk of neurological and psychiatric sequelae has been reported. Viral illnesses commonly trigger functional neurological...

Whole genome sequence meta-analyses reveal common and rare genetic associations with critical COVID-19 In susceptible patients, COVID-19 causes life-threatening disease driven by immune-mediated inflammatory lung injury. We have previously shown that multiple common host genetic variants are...

Vitamin D intake and multiple sclerosis risk in the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child cohort BACKGROUND Higher vitamin D has consistently been associated with a lower multiple sclerosis (MS) risk, but some controversy remains about whether this is due to vitamin D itself or sunlight. METHODS...

Metformin at the time of Covid-19 infection and risk of Long Covid: A Target Trial Emulation Study BACKGROUND Our objective was to evaluate metformin prescribed at the time of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the risk of developing Long Covid (LC) in electronic health record data. METHODS We conducted...

Pre-pandemic lifestyle patterns and mental health outcomes among people reporting post-acute sequelae of COVID-19: evidence from a Slovenian population-based sample BACKGROUND The long-term consequences of COVID-19, or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), represent a major...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X25012046 Abstract Purpose In adolescents (12–17 years), it is unknown whether COVID-19 vaccination reduces progression from COVID-19 to Long COVID (LC) beyond preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection. We assessed the effect of vaccination...

Exploring predictors of post-COVID-19 condition among 810 851 individuals in Sweden BACKGROUND Long-term effects of COVID-19 can place burden on individuals, healthcare, and society. We aimed to evaluate the importance of a wide range of potential risk factors for being diagnosed with...

Schizophrenia, Bipolar, or Major Depressive Disorder and Postacute Sequelae of COVID-19 IMPORTANCE Given the increased vulnerability to COVID-19 among those with a serious mental illness (SMI), it remains unclear whether these individuals face a higher risk of developing postacute sequelae of...

Pre-pandemic disease trajectories and genetic insights into long COVID susceptibility BACKGROUND Long COVID refers to the persistence of symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection. While individual comorbidities have been studied, the role of coexisting chronic conditions remains underexplored. This...

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41080863/ Abstract Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, between 12 and 20% of US adults were identified as having post-COVID-19 condition, commonly referred to as 'Long COVID'. These individuals maintained symptoms of COVID-19 for 3 months or longer...
