Post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) is a complex heterogeneous disorder that has affected the lives of millions people globally. Identification potential risk factors to better understand who at developing PCC important because it would allow for early and appropriate clinical support.To evaluate demographic characteristics comorbidities have been found be associated with an increased PCC.Medline Embase databases were systematically searched from inception December 5, 2022.The meta-analysis included all published studies investigated and/or predictors in adult (≥18 years) patients.Odds ratios (ORs) each factor pooled selected studies. For factor, random-effects model was used compare between individuals without factor. Data analyses performed 2022, February 10, 2023.The patient age; sex; body mass index, calculated as weight kilograms divided by height meters squared; smoking status; comorbidities, including anxiety depression, asthma, chronic kidney disease, obstructive pulmonary diabetes, immunosuppression, ischemic heart disease; previous hospitalization or ICU (intensive care unit) admission COVID-19; vaccination against COVID-19.The initial search yielded 5334 records which 255 articles underwent full-text evaluation, identified 41 total 860 783 patients included. The findings showed female sex (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.41-1.73), age 1.21; 1.11-1.33), high BMI 1.15; 1.08-1.23), 1.10; 1.07-1.13) PCC.

Design Population based, cross sectional study Setting Adults aged 18-65 years confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection between October 2020 March 2021 notified authorities in four geographically defined regions southern Germany. Participants 50 457 patients were invited participate study, whom 053 (24%) responded 11 710 (58.8% (n=6881) female; mean age 44.1 years; 3.6% (412/11 602) previously admitted covid-19; follow-up time 8.5 months) could be included analyses. Main outcome measures Symptom frequencies (six versus before infection), severity clustering, associations recovery Results The fatigue (37.2% (4213/11 312), 95% confidence interval 36.4% 38.1%) neurocognitive impairment (31.3% (3561/11 361), 30.5% 32.2%) contributed most reduced capacity, but chest symptoms, anxiety/depression, headache/dizziness, pain syndromes also prevalent relevant for some differences according sex age.

Identification of predictors long COVID-19 is essential for managing healthcare plans patients. This systematic literature review and meta-analysis aimed to identify risk factors not associated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, but rather potentially predictive the development COVID-19. MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed, EMBASE, Web Science databases, as well medRxiv bioRxiv preprint servers were screened through 15 September 2022. Peer-reviewed studies or preprints evaluating potential pre-SARS-CoV-2 infection long-lasting symptoms included. The methodological quality was assessed using Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPSs) tool. Random-effects meta-analyses calculation odds ratio (OR) performed those where a homogenous definition used.
