Abstract:
Long-lasting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms beyond 12 weeks, the so-called \'long COVID\' have been increasingly reported worldwide. Long COVID can be manifested in various forms, and there is an increasing demand for proper assessment and management. However, it is challenging when trying to determine the best-practice standards of care based on the current evidence because there is no internationally agreed clinical definition or clear treatment pathway. Therefore, the present guidelines have been drafted to provide advice on diagnosis and management based on the latest updated available evidence and the consensus of expert opinion. So far, no standard test and drug treatment can be strongly recommended for patients with long COVID because of a lack of evidence. The present guidelines provide advice based on 12 key questions, including appropriate interventions for long COVID that can be used in clinical practice. Continuous careful observation and studies related to long COVID are needed for the long-term impact of COVID-19 and proper management for long COVID to be determined.
摘要:
持续12周以上的2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)症状,所谓的“长型COVID”在世界范围内得到了越来越多的报道。长COVID可以以各种形式表现,对适当评估和管理的需求越来越大。然而,由于没有国际公认的临床定义或明确的治疗途径,因此在试图根据现有证据确定最佳治疗实践标准时具有挑战性.因此,本指南旨在根据最新的现有证据和专家意见的共识,就诊断和管理提供建议.到目前为止,由于缺乏证据,对于长期COVID患者,不能强烈建议进行标准的检测和药物治疗。本指南根据12个关键问题提供建议,包括可用于临床实践的长期COVID的适当干预措施。要确定COVID-19的长期影响和长期COVID的适当管理,需要持续仔细观察和研究与长期COVID相关的研究。
