Only around one in four patients hospitalized with Covid-19 had fully recovered following a year, a British study showed on Sunday. Presented at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases in Lisbon and published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, the study used adult patient data from 39 UK National Health Service (NHS) hospitals between March 7, 2020 and April 18, 2021. Being female or obese increases the risk of maintaining health problems, the study states. Among the most common symptoms of long Covid are fatigue, muscle pain, physical slowdown, lack of sleep and shortness of breath.
