Abstract This review summarizes current knowledge on post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) and post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) in children adolescents. A literature was performed to synthesize information from clinical studies, expert opinions, guidelines. PASC also termed Long COVID — at any age comprise a plethora unspecific symptoms present later than 4 weeks after confirmed or probable infection with severe respiratory syndrome corona virus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), without another medical explanation. PCC adolescents defined by the WHO as occurring within 3 months acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), lasting least months, limiting daily activities. Pediatric mostly manifest mild courses majority cases remit few months. However, can last for more 1 year may result significant disability. Frequent include fatigue, exertion intolerance, anxiety. Some patients postural tachycardia (PoTS), small number fulfill criteria myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue (ME/CFS). To date, no diagnostic marker has been established, differential diagnostics remains challenging. Therapeutic approaches appropriate self-management well palliation non-pharmaceutical pharmaceutical strategies. Conclusion : pediatrics heterogenous severity duration. stepped, interdisciplinary, individualized approach is essential management. Current health care structures have be adapted, research extended meet psychosocial needs young people similar conditions. What Known: • Post-acute (COVID-19) lead activity limitation reduced quality life. belongs large group syndromes (PAIS). Specific biomarkers causal treatment options are not yet available.

Abstract Background Previous meta-analyses estimating the prevalence of post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) were confounded by lack negative control groups. This may result in an overestimation those experiencing PCC, as these symptoms are non-specific and common general population. In this study, we aimed to compare burden persistent among COVID-19 survivors relative COVID-19-negative controls. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted using following databases (PubMed, Web Science, Scopus) until July 2023 for comparative studies that examined survivors. Given many overlap with post-hospitalization syndrome post-intensive care syndrome, included hospitalized patients non-COVID-19 non-hospitalized healthy controls reported outcomes after at least 3 months since infection. The results meta-analysis odds ratios a 95% confidence interval based on random effects model. Results Twenty articles study.
