Long COVID symptom severity varies widely by age, gender, and socioeconomic status - Published Sept 2, 2024

By Dr. Sushama R. Chaphalkar, PhD.

In a recent study published in the journal JRSM Open, researchers analyze self-reported symptoms of long coronavirus disease 2019 (LC) from individuals using a healthcare app to examine the potential impact of demographic factors on the severity of symptoms. The researchers found that LC symptom severity varied significantly by age, gender, race, education, and socioeconomic status.

Research highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions as age, gender, and social factors play a crucial role in the intensity of long COVID symptoms. What factors increase the risk of long COVID? Several months after recovering from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), patients with LC may continue to suffer from numerous symptoms, some of which include fatigue, brain fog, and chest pain. The prevalence of LC varies, with estimates ranging from 10-30% in non-hospitalized cases to 50-70% in hospitalized patients.

Although several digital health interventions (DHIs) and applications have been developed to monitor acute symptoms of COVID-19, few have been designed to track long-term symptoms of the disease. One DHI called "Living With COVID Recovery" (LWCR) was initiated to help individuals manage LC by self-reporting symptoms and tracking their intensity. However, there remains a lack of evidence on the risk factors, characteristics, and predictors of LC, thereby limiting the accurate identification of high-risk patients to target preventive strategies.

About the study In the present study, researchers investigate the prevalence and intensity of self-reported LC symptoms to analyze their potential relationship with demographic factors to inform targeted interventions and management strategies. To this end, LWCR was used to monitor and analyze self-reported LC symptoms from individuals in 31 LC clinics throughout England and Wales.

The study included 1,008 participants who reported 1,604 unique symptoms. All patients provided informed consent for the use of their anonymized data for research.

Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between symptom intensity and factors such as time since registration, age, ethnicity, education, gender, and socioeconomic status through indices of multiple deprivation (IMD) on a scale of one to 10.

Education was classified into four levels denoted as NVQ 1-2, NVQ 3, NVQ 4, and NVQ 5, which reflected those who were least educated at A level, degree level, and postgraduate level, respectively. The intensity of symptoms was measured on a scale from zero to 10, with zero being the lowest and 10 the highest intensity. Descriptive statistics identified variations in symptom intensity across different demographic groups.

Study findings Although 23% of patients experienced symptoms only once, 77% experienced symptoms multiple times. Corroborating with existing literature, the most prevalent symptoms included pain, neuropsychological issues, fatigue, and dyspnea, which affected 26.5%, 18.4%, 14.3%, and 7.4% of the cohort, respectively. Symptoms such as palpitations, light-headedness, insomnia, cough, diarrhea, and tinnitus were less prevalent.

Fifteen most prevalent LC symptoms. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that symptom intensity was significantly associated with age, gender, ethnicity, education, and IMD decile. More specifically, individuals 68 years of age and older reported higher symptom intensity by 32.5% and 86%, respectively. These findings align with existing literature that highlights the increased risk of LC symptoms with age, which may be due to weakened immunity or the presence of comorbidities. Thus, they emphasize the need for targeted interventions for this population.

Females also reported higher symptom intensity than males, by 9.2%. Non-White individuals experienced higher symptom intensity by 23.5% as compared to White individuals.

Individuals with higher education levels reported up to 47% reduced symptom intensity as compared to those with lower education levels. Higher IMD deciles, which reflect less deprived areas, were associated with lower symptom intensity; however, no significant association was observed between the number of symptoms reported and the IMD decile.

Regression results with 95% confidence interval. Note: For age, the base group is people in the age category 18–27. For IMD, the base group is people from IMD decile 1. For education, the base group is people who left school before A-level (NVQ 1–2). A significant positive association was observed between symptom intensity and the duration between registration on the app and initial symptom reporting. This finding suggests individuals may become more aware of their symptoms or that worsening symptoms prompt reporting.

Some limitations of the current study include the lack of data on comorbidities, hospitalization, and vaccine status. There is also a potential for bias against individuals lacking technological proficiency or access, which may affect the sample's representativeness, particularly for older, socioeconomically disadvantaged, or non-English-speaking individuals. Excluding patients with severe symptoms or those who were ineligible for the app may also skew the findings.

Conclusions There remains an urgent need to develop targeted interventions to address the severity of LC in relation to age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic factors. LC treatment should prioritize prevalent symptoms like pain, neuropsychological issues, fatigue, and dyspnea while also considering other possible symptoms. Furthermore, sustained support for LC clinics is essential to effectively manage the wide range of symptoms and complexities associated with LC and improve public health outcomes in the post-pandemic era.

[survivingandenduring]

At the start of 2023 I was a quiet Pedro admirer; although Narcos was my gateway Pedro I was just admiring from a distance; following films and interviews but definitely not engaging. Too scary. 😟

The Mandalorian came along and I peeked into fandom but didn’t engage 🫣

HBO’s TLOU changed all that.

I put my big girl panties on and dipped my toe in the water. I wanted to join in with the fun 🤩 Not having a creative writing bone in my body I started making some video edits on the clock app; Some really, really poor quality and quite shitty edits. 😂 But I was having a lot fun making them and it was purely for my own enjoyment. 💗

💜🖤💜🖤💜

Got my Mandalorian/TLOU tattoo it says endure & survive in Mandalorian script cos I was Six when Star Wars came out and it’s been my comfort for nearly my whole life; and then the TLOU hit me with all of its feelings!!! And Endure & Survive has pretty much been a mantra for my life at times. So..

The Met Gala was life altering.

Gradually I’ve taught myself how to make edits that are a bit better; and some people even seem to like them!! And I started to get followers on the clock app! Crazy!! Still think it’s crazy that anyone takes time to watch or comment on them. I’ve not been confident enough to post much of them on here amongst so much cool stuff but I’ll try to push myself to do that more in 2024

💜🖤💜🖤💜

As the odd; ND, but I’m gen x so just weird, person I’ve always felt I’ve been the one on the outside or the edge looking in; I still mainly feel like that; but Pedro fandom has let me feel like I’m a tiny part of something; which is such a gift. I wish Pedro could understand that his work gives so much more to people. I’ve made some wonderful friends because of it and I hope to make more in the next year.

Fandom has truly allowed me to feel ok being myself 💗 and that’s so fucking cool.

💜🖤💜🖤💜

After reading fics on a03 I switched over to here; and then made an account.

Wow!!! What a difference. I love the interaction with the writers; the fact that you all take the time to respond to comments and thoughts is amazing to me and truly valued 💗🥰

The silliness on tumblr is like beautiful fresh air to breathe.’; whether it’s Marcus P and DONUTS; or the Catfish PhD program 😁 these bring me such joy. 🥰

I’ve read soooooo many amazing fics there are too many to mention. But if I’ve commented, liked or reblogged your fic it’s because I really truly enjoyed it 💜💗💜

And it’s like some sort of miracle that you guys give us this..for FREE…just to share and enjoy. What a gift; when my head feels out of control I can come here and quieten it down with your words.

💜 THANKYOU 💜

and if anyone took the time to read this brain spew then double thanks ❤️💜

If you do fancy looking at some shitty edits then I’m @enduringandsurviving on the clock app

Here’s to 2024 and all that Pedro. There’s a chance I may self combust at some point.

I thought G2 was going to do it but I’ve a sneaky suspicion that I won’t make it past Freaky Tales 🤣🤣🤣

AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH QUOTE 13

Wednesday, April 24, 2024

“Let’s become informed consumers and keep school professionals and private providers accountable for their work and how it affects autistic children’s mental health. Where do I stand? I am against ableist and abusive practices that harm ND children. I am not anti any specific professional field. I am for clinically informed, neurodiversity-affirming practices that are delivered with understanding of a specific condition, with clinical and developmental grounding, and with understanding of the child and the family.” – Yulika Forman, PhD, LMHC, "What Practices Are Abusive For Autistic Children?"

I'm going into my second year of grad school as a master's thesis student in the US, hopefully finishing my Christmas. I'm considering starting a PhD program in August 2024, how do I prepare for my PhD (it's in a totally different field) and how do I recover from 5 straight years of university with no summers off so I don't burnout fast in my PhD program?

Hello, thank your for your question! Ok wow that is a lot, you are a hard-working and ambitious person, good qualities for a PhD.

The PhD is all about reading what's already there surrounding that topic. If you want to get ready for it, you can start reading scientific articles, books, essays about the topic in question (obviously add them to a reference app like OneNote or Zotero). Take a few notes of what you read so that you will remember it in a few months/years. Depending on where you go, you can ask the current PhD students what softwares they are using, because you might be asked to use the same ones. Learning how to use a software takes a while. You will also need a healthy routine and balance, I mean enough sleep, healthy food, some breaks during your day. A PhD is a marathon, a silent war. It's all about planning and doing a little every day. As I procrastinate a lot, it is hard for me but I still manage to get things done because I am really good at lab work and writing fast. If you can have a nice time off before starting a PhD to recharge your energy, that would be ideal.

Ah yes, not burning out. I know how in the US, PhDs are hard and all about finding grants. During your first-year, take courses if you can, to learn how to write grant applications, papers and stuff like that. Organise your time in a reasonable manner, always assume it's going to take you two or three times the expected time. You will need academic friends with whom you can vent about your PhD, and non-academic friends to remind yourself that not everyone does what you do, and that there are other things in life. Practicing some sport to release the pressure is quite good for your mental health. Also, take the holidays if you know you have holidays (In the UK, we are allowed five weeks per year), they are here for a reason.

[vizthedatum]

I remember listening to this whole album on repeat multiple times during undergrad and then in the summer of 2012 (especially when I was walking through the streets of New York City all alone).

Listening to it again now.

It was such a comfort.

I love her voice so much. So haunting and beautiful.

I wish I could sing better, and I'd literally sing Hide and Seek at any given opportunity. (I have tried)

ALSO, I REALLY WANT A PAIR OF MiMu GLOVES (they're wearable gloves with which you can make music) - honestly, the combination of this with disability movements is just the tip of the iceberg. NOT TO MENTION THAT IT'S JUST COOL.

I wish they would make this for other body parts.

Can you even imagine the music people could make while stimming?!

The ones that are set to come out in 2024 are over 3k USD.

I suppose the MiMu Gliss app will do for now.

(omg could I use my dissertation stuff in combo with this *ideas percolate* (Hi Imogen, if you read my scattered thoughts, please know that I did my PhD dissertation using accelerometers (and IMUs) and machine learning (AI) to look at falls and cognitive impairment in older adults, AND I HAVE IDEAS FOR YOU))

Today was kind of rough overall, I started by not really being able to sleep last night and it kind of spiraled from there 😭 but I was otherwise really productive with everything except my schoolwork! I had a meeting with one of my favorite PhD students here in archaeology and she had so much knowledge and advice to share on grad school and deciding what to do after graduation, and she helped me lay out a plan over the next few days to reach out to people and start putting together a decent grad app! Additionally, I got some great news about scheduling that I’ve been super stressed about and had that load taken off my shoulders 🙏

I also spent most of the day on my feet at the activities fair trying to recruit people for the club I’m on exec board for, so I’m hoping that we get a great turnout next week :) I met a grad student in bioengineering that was involved in his undergrad school’s version of our club and he had a ton of stuff to teach, so I’m excited for our praccs and welcome events over the next few weeks 🙌
