Artemis ARC Vice President of Health Megan Shaheen’s co-authored journal article, “Risk of developing long COVID based on acute COVID-19 severity,” has now been published in the Journal of Public Health.
The COVID-19 pandemic constitutes one of the most challenging global public health emergencies in the last century.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in five people who contract COVID-19 have lingering COVID-related symptoms 3 months after testing positive. This paper examines how overall symptom severity in the acute COVID-19 period is related to the risk of developing long COVID and experiencing severe long COVID-related symptoms within the U.S. Veteran population.
The study evaluates Veterans and their experiences with COVID-19, reporting the types of symptoms they had and the severity and duration of each symptom to understand the strongest predictors of developing long COVID and/or severe long COVID with associated risk factors.
