SALT LAKE CITY — A national research team that included scientists from the University of Utah have uncovered new details about"long COVID," which affects those who still experience symptoms months or years after contracting the virus.
Also included in the twelve symptoms that set apart those with or without long COVID include post-exertional malaise, gastrointestinal symptoms, heart palpitations, issues with sexual desire or capacity, loss of smell or taste, thirst, chronic cough, chest pain, and abnormal movements.Researchers found that certain symptoms occurred together, and defined four subgroups or “clusters” with a range of impacts on health.
“This begins to provide us with a roadmap for where to focus areas of future study so that we can better understand what long COVID looks like,” said Dr. Rachel Hess, Associate Vice President for Research at U of U Health and Co-Director of the Utah Clinical and Translational Science Institute . The study, published in JAMA, is coordinated through the NIH’s Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery initiative, a nationwide effort dedicated to understanding why some people develop long-term symptoms following COVID-19, and how to detect, treat, and prevent it.
