How Common Long-Term Effects Are After COVID-19 in U.S. Adults, 2022-2024

Updated

Abstract

Approximately a substantial proportion of U.S. adults experience post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).

  • PASC affects multiple organ systems and is associated with significant disability.
  • There may be a diminished quality of life for individuals suffering from PASC.
  • Population-level estimates of PASC include individuals without prior COVID-19, potentially skewing risk assessments.
  • The prevalence and trends of PASC were specifically estimated among U.S. adults with confirmed prior COVID-19.
