Just one in four patients hospitalised with covid say they're fully recovered a year later, according to a new study.
The research shows certain groups of people have an increased likelihood of suffering from long Covid. The most common ongoing symptoms of this are fatigue, muscle pain, physically slowing down, poor sleep and breathlessness.
In a study published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, more than 2,000 patients after hospitalisation were studied to determine the impact of long Covid. Patients from 39 NHS hospitals agreed to five month and one year follow-up assessments in addition to their clinical care, Wales Online reports.
