It adds that the results of meta-regression demonstrated that sample size, age and region might be the potential sources of heterogeneity.“Consistent results were observed in the subgroup analysis stratified by sample size, age, the percentage of male patients, study design, setting, the methods for adjustment and the factors for adjustment,” reads the study published in International Immunopharmacology.The team went through relevant research articles published between January 1, 2020, and July 5, 2022, and zeroed in on 16 studies covering over 2 lakh Covid patients.Lung damage from ILDs is often irreversible and gets worse over time. The scarring causes stiffness in the lungs which makes it difficult to breathe and get oxygen to the bloodstream. ILD is an umbrella term used for a large group of diseases that cause scarring (fibrosis) of the lungs.Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is significantly correlated with a higher risk for Covid-19 severity and mortality, according to the results of a recent meta-analysis by researchers in China.The link between lung health and Covid-19 severity In addition, 21% of the participants reported confusion, and hypertension was the most common medical condition reported post being bitten by the Covid bug.Just over half the participants reported changes in smell (54.5%) and taste (54%) while 47% of them met the criteria for mild cognitive impairment, with 30% demonstrating impaired vocabulary and 32% having impaired working memory.A reason why fatigue is such a common complaint in survivors is potentially because levels of inflammation – the body's natural response to an infection, remain elevated in some people, even though the antibodies to the virus itself may wane, they add.The preliminary findings involved 200 patients, who were recruited on average about 125 days after testing Covid positive.The researchers from the Medical College of Georgia, in the US, claim that 80% of all participants reported neurological symptoms with fatigue, the most common symptom, reported by 68.5%, followed closely by headaches (66.5%).The research, published in the journal ScienceDirect, found that muscle aches, cough, changes in smell and taste, fever, chills and nasal congestion were next in the long line of lingering symptoms.Fatigue and headache were the most common symptoms reported by people an average of over four months after recovering from Covid-19, according to a study.
