我们的目标是了解长期COVID的可能社会人口学预测因素，以及在大流行爆发近两年后，长期COVID是否与健康结局有关。有1649名成年人参与了这项研究，他们完成了一项在2021年11月至2022年1月期间在挪威、英国、美国和澳大利亚公开传播的横断面在线调查。参与者被定义为患有长期COVID，这是基于他们已感染新冠肺炎并经历长期COVID症状的自我报告。Logistic回归分析被用来检查可能的社会人口学预测因素，多变量的方差分析被用来检查长期COVID状态是否与健康结局相关。没有一个社会人口学变量与报告长期冠状病毒感染显著相关。有较长的COVID与更高水平的心理困扰、疲劳和感觉到的压力有关。长期COVID对男性健康结局的影响比女性更大。总而言之，长期冠状病毒感染出现在社会人口学群体中。与那些患有新冠肺炎但没有长期症状的人相比，患有长期COVID的人报告的健康结果更差。经历长期COVID的男性似乎特别容易经历较差的健康结果；卫生服务机构可能会额外关注经历长期COVID的男性对支持的潜在未被注意的需求。
We aimed to gain knowledge of possible sociodemographic predictors of long COVID and whether long COVID was associated with health outcomes almost two years after the pandemic outbreak. There were 1649 adults who participated in the study by completing a cross-sectional online survey disseminated openly in Norway, the UK, the USA, and Australia between November 2021 and January 2022. Participants were defined as having long COVID based on self-reports that they had been infected by COVID-19 and were experiencing long-lasting COVID symptoms. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine possible sociodemographic predictors, and multivariate analysis of variance was used to examine whether long COVID status was associated with health outcomes. None of the sociodemographic variables was significantly associated with reporting long COVID. Having long COVID was associated with higher levels of psychological distress, fatigue, and perceived stress. The effect of long COVID on health outcomes was greater among men than among women. In conclusion, long COVID appeared across sociodemographic groups. People with long COVID reported worsened health outcomes compared to those who had had COVID-19 but without long-term symptoms. Men experiencing long COVID appear to be particularly vulnerable to experiencing poorer health outcomes; health services may pay extra attention to potentially unnoticed needs for support among men experiencing long COVID.
