A study of nearly 1,000 people with post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) revealed that two-thirds still experienced significant symptoms, including reduced exercise capacity and cognitive performance, two years after infection. Persistent symptom clusters included fatigue, neurocognitive disturbances, and post-exertional malaise, with worse outcomes in individuals with obesity, lower education, or severe initial infections.
Patients with PCS showed reduced oxygen consumption and cognitive test scores, highlighting the need for exercise and cognitive evaluations in clinical care. The findings underscore the long-term impact of PCS and the urgent need for research into recovery factors.
