“…Of the 384,137 infected people and 1,501,689 controls with a minimum of 12 weeks follow-up, 5.4% of infected people and 4.3% of controls reported at least one symptom of the post COVID 19 condition according to the WHO case definition (from a list of over possible 100 symptoms). An observational cohort study used data collected from a larger population-based cohort study in the Netherlands to estimate the prevalence of the post COVID-19 condition among people with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to controls 27. In 4,321 participants with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and 8,462 matched controls without COVID-19 (matched by age, sex, and time), 21.4% of participants with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection experienced at least one symptom of the post COVID-19 condition compared to 8.7% of controls at 90-150 days follow-up (symptoms included chest pain, difficulties with breathing, pain when breathing, painful muscles, loss of taste or smell, tingling extremities, lump in throat, feeling hot and cold alternately, heavy arms or legs, and general tiredness).…”
