Key result
Long COVID in children and adolescents causes persistent physical, psychological, and neurological symptoms, with females and those with pre-existing conditions seemingly more affected.
Why the study?
Long COVID is increasingly recognized in children and adolescents with uncertain long-term outcomes, prompting a synthesis of literature on its prevalence, symptomatology, risk factors, and potential mechanisms.
Long COVID affects pediatric populations with a wide array of persistent symptoms and potential autonomic dysfunction (like POTS), highlighting the need for objective clinical assessments rather than relying solely on self-reported data.
