Tests show emotional, behavioral problems in adolescents with long COVID

lemmy.world/post/27777656

lemmy.worldTests show emotional, behavioral problems in adolescents with long COVID - Lemmy.World>A clinical survey of 85 pediatric long-COVID patients in Bavaria, Germany, reveals high levels of fatigue, loss of motivation, difficulty concentrating and maintaining attention, worsened mood, and greater anxiety. A >To holistically describe long-COVID symptoms and identify risk factors for post-infection neurocognitive and emotional problems, University of Regensburg researchers analyzed clinical data from COVID-19 survivors aged 12 to 17 years who had symptoms for at least 4 weeks. The average patient age was 12.5 years, 61.2% were girls, and the average interval from infection to examination was 5.7 months. >From December 2021 to June 2023, the children were given a neuropsychological evaluation made up of infection-specific interviews, psychopathologic exams, questionnaires on emotional well-being and behavioral problems, and computerized tests measuring concentration, attention, and memory. Participants also underwent neurologic, pneumological, gastrointestinal, and cardiac testing. >84% had abnormal psychological results. Most children had elevated levels of fatigue (82.4%), loss of motivation (72.9%), impaired concentration and attention (71.8%), and worsened mood (53%), and 31.8% reported more anxiety. The most common diagnoses were post-COVID adjustment disorder (38.8%) and post-COVID attention-deficit disorder (23.5%). Disturbances in attention and memory, drive and psychomotor activity, affect, circadian disturbances, and worries and compulsions were common.

A crucial legal battle is unfolding! Judge Mary S. McElroy has issued a temporary injunction preventing the termination of vital public health funds allocated during the Covid-19 pandemic. This ruling comes after 23 states challenged the Trump administration’s move to cut around $11 billion in grants, emphasizing the critical need for these funds in childhood vaccination and opioid addiction treatment.

Why are you sick all the time? Covid:

"a positive test for COVID-19 is associated with increased rates of diagnosis of various non–SARS-CoV-2 infections in the 12 months following an acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, even if the initial infection is mild to moderate."

Modeling COVID infection numbers in Germany (2020–2024)

SpringerLinkModellierung der COVID-Infektionszahlen in Deutschland (2020–2024) - Notfall + RettungsmedizinTo estimate the societal consequences of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV 2) pandemic, there is a lack of reliable data that depict the temporal course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections in Germany, taking into account the unreported cases. Based on three differently constructed model calculations, we estimate the monthly SARS-CoV‑2 infection numbers in Germany for the first 5 years of the pandemic (2020–2024). A total of between 160 and 197 million infections result, i.e., significantly more than the 39 million infections reported by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). In the year 2024, the unreported case factor with respect to the official RKI data is over 80.

"Federal judge says she will temporarily block billions in health funding cuts to states"

apnews.com/article/trump-covid

"A federal judge will temporarily block President Donald Trump’s administration from cutting billions in federal dollars that support COVID-19 initiatives and public health projects throughout the country."

Detail from the last paragraph - this administration is now facing 150 lawsuits! Probably more on the way…

Yup, looks like we really are having a Spring #COVID wave in #NYC!

At least #COVID19 hospitalizations are still well below 6 per lakh per day. If they don't rise much further, and flu and RSV cases continue to drop, the total hospitalizations should stay under 6 per day, which is my threshold for going into Outbreak Mode.
