By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaApr 12 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in PLOS ONE Journal, researchers performed a systematic-type review to identify factors that increase the risk of psychiatric symptoms among long coronavirus disease or post-COVID 2019 condition patients.
Studies have demonstrated that anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder , fatigue, sleep difficulties, and cognitive impairments are common among COVID-19 convalescents. The studies comprised adult and elderly individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, with psychiatric symptomatology persisting >4.0 weeks following the acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, using the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence criteria for PCC.
Data extracted included author name, year of publication, country of publication, design of the study, sample population, age, male-to-female ratio, the time elapsed since the diagnosis of acute COVID-19, psychiatric symptom prevalence, evaluation tools, risk factors of statistical significance, and their effect sizes .
The most frequently documented psychiatric-type symptoms included depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, PTSD, cognitive impairments, and somatic-type symptoms. The follow-up duration was associated with anxiety and PTSD, and obesity was associated with poor sleep quality among PCC patients. Further, marital status, hospital/ intensive care unit length of stay, neurological complications, and days elapsed following hospital discharge were associated with cognitive impairments in PCC.
