Year 2023
Studies on long coronavirus disease (COVID) in children are scarce. We aimed to describe persistent symptoms and identify risk factors for its development. In our study population, 17.6% presented with long COVID, with respiratory symptoms more frequent in the first weeks and neuropsychiatric symptoms over time. Chronic conditions and obesity were risk factors, and adolescents were at a greater risk for long COVID.
