Article Synopsis
- The study aims to identify clinical laboratory markers associated with postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) due to a lack of validated biomarkers.
- Conducted with 10,094 participants across 83 sites, the research compared laboratory measures between those with and without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and analyzed the impact of PASC indices on these measures.
- Results showed participants with prior infection had lower platelet counts and higher levels of hemoglobin A and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio, but these differences were minor and not significant among those with PASC.
Article Synopsis
- SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to long-term health issues known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) or long COVID, which can manifest as ongoing or new symptoms after the initial infection.
- The RECOVER-Adult study aims to better understand PASC by investigating its prevalence, symptoms, risk factors, and underlying biological mechanisms through a large cohort of nearly 15,000 adults.
- Participants will provide ongoing data through questionnaires, physical examinations, and biological samples over several months, helping researchers gather critical insights into the complexities of long COVID.
