AI Article Synopsis
- A study involving over 94,000 COVID-19 cases developed an algorithm to connect COVID-19 severity with long-term health complications like stroke, heart attacks, and death.* -
- It found that the risk of these complications is higher for patients with severe COVID-19, especially within the first 120 days after infection, with most issues occurring within the first two months.* -
- The research highlights the importance of understanding how COVID-19 severity affects long-term health, which can help in planning prevention and treatment strategies.*
Article Abstract
In this retrospective cohort study of 94 595 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2-positive cases, we developed and validated an algorithm to assess the association between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity and long-term complications (stroke, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism/deep vein thrombosis, heart failure, and mortality). COVID-19 severity was associated with a greater risk of experiencing a long-term complication 31-120 days postinfection. Most incident events occurred 31-60 days postinfection and diminished after day 91, except heart failure for severe patients and death for moderate patients, which peaked on days 91-120. Understanding the differential impact of COVID-19 severity on long-term events provides insight into possible intervention modalities and critical prevention strategies.
