 In this study, researchers examined the recovery trajectories of people who have been infected with COVID-19 over a period of one year. They found that the majority of people experienced a plateauing of key outcomes around 180 days after being diagnosed with persistent symptoms, lung function impairments, and radiological abnormalities remaining common. Additionally, they identified three distinct recovery trajectories, which could be separated into those with almost complete recovery, those with a post COVID-19 syndrome with reduced mental health status, and those with impaired lung function and radiological abnormalities. This study provides valuable insight into the long-term effects of COVID-19 and can help inform future treatment strategies. This article was authored by Sabina Sahanic, Piotr Timosuck, Anna K.
