a longitudinal analysis of the Children and Young People with Long COVID

the rate of some lasting fatigue in kids is ALMOST TWO THIRDS

Among 943 SARS-CoV-2-positive participants, 581 (61.6%) met CFQ [Chalder Fatigue Scale] case-ness at least once during follow-up

with consistent, chronic, unresolving fatigue in more than 1 in 6 kids after infection!

15.9% meet case-ness at all follow-ups.

the rate got worse over time!

The proportion of CFQ cases increased from 35.0% at 3-months to 40.2% at 24-months post-infection;
