Long COVID affects a significant number of children, yet clinician knowledge gaps and limited access to specialized care hinder effective management. With fewer than 20 pediatric long COVID clinics in the United States, many families must travel long distances for care. To address these challenges, a pediatric long COVID ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) program was developed to educate health care professionals on evidence-based care. The program engaged 94 participants from the United States and Canada via weekly tele-education sessions, recruited through word of mouth and professional listservs. Pre-surveys (41% response rate) and post-surveys (29% response rate) were sent to attendees. Participants reported statistically significant improvements in knowledge, confidence, competence, and self-efficacy ( < 0.001). This program represents a valuable initiative to facilitate timely interventions and empower primary care and community providers in diagnosing, treating, and managing long COVID in pediatric populations.

Animal models are indispensable for unraveling the mechanisms underlying post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). This review evaluates recent research on PASC-related perturbations in animal models, drawing comparisons with clinical findings. Despite the limited number of studies on post-COVID conditions, particularly those extending beyond three months, these studies provide valuable insights.

Background: Understanding health system delay (HSD) in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) diagnosis aids in tailoring interventions for case detection and curbing transmission. However, recent nationwide studies on HSD in PTB diagnosis have been scarce. This study assesses HSD and its risk factors in China, taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Objectives: A systematic characterization of the long-term sequelae after the severest form of COVID-19 requiring ECMO-therapy is lacking. Here, we present 2-year follow-up data of COVID-19 ECMO survivors, and analyze the cardiopulmonary, neurocognitive, psychological, and functional status, plus health-related quality of life (HRQL).
Methods: From 04/2020 to 09/2021, 60 COVID patients were supported with ECMO.
