A large study found nearly one quarter of coronavirus survivors received first-time diagnoses for other medical ailments following 30 days of infection.
Results suggested 23.2%, or 454,477 patients, had at least one post-COVID condition 30 days after their first COVID-19 diagnosis, with the most common conditions identified as pain, breathing difficulties, hyperlipidemia, malaise and fatigue, and hypertension, researchers wrote. Ranking of conditions varied across age groups; pediatric patients reported pain and breathing troubles most frequently, but intestinal issues ranked third over hyperlipidemia, compared across all ages. What’s more, anxiety was found as the most prevalent mental health condition, followed by depression, adjustment disorders and tic disorders.More Related News
