59% had organ impairment at 1 year
In a study in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, British researchers assessed organ impairment in 536 long-COVID patients still reporting extreme shortness of breath, brain fog, and poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) 1 year after diagnosis. Of all participants, 13% had been hospitalized at symptom onset, and 32% were healthcare workers.
Sixty-two percent of participants had organ damage 6 months after their initial diagnosis, as did 59% of those who underwent a 40-minute multi-organ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan at 1 year—even those with non-severe infections.
