CONCLUSIONS “We did not find evidence of Long COVID risk decreasing over time... Our findings indicate that preventing and mitigating Long COVID remains a public health priority.” “There are multiple potential explanations for the stability of incidence proportions into 2024 that would benefit from further investigation.” KEY FINDINGS Overall, 4% of children and 10%-26% of adults developed Long COVID, depending on computable phenotype used. There was no decline in risk of Long COVID over time. Monthly patterns rose with new variants and Long COVID incidence did not show a sustained drop through 2024. When the team compared to COVID-negative and pre-pandemic control groups, “excess incidence" was 5% to 6% among adults and 1.5% in children, representing a lower bound incidence estimation based on the study control groups.
