Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

INTRODUCTION: Post Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Syndrome also known as long COVID-19 would affect survivors of various patients. At present, the evidence for predicting a poor prognosis of COVID-19 remains insufficient. This study aims to explore potential predictors of post-COVID-19 syndrome. METHODOLOGY: A systematic review process and meta-analysis method are applied to identify the predictors. Systematic searches were conducted without language restrictions from December 1, 2019, to February 28, 2022, on PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library using specific keywords relevant to our targets. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale observational research tool was used to assess study quality and the R (4.1.1) package meta was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Our meta-analysis of 14 studies showed that females (OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.19-1.70), the severity of patients (OR = 2.43, 95% CI: 1.26-4.68), comorbidity (OR = 2.08, 95% CI: 1.29-3.35), dyspnea (OR = 2.02, 95% CI: 1.34-3.04) associated with a higher risk of post-COVID-19 syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that females, the severity of COVID-19, comorbidity, and dyspnea were associated with a higher risk of post-COVID-19 syndrome. More attention should be paid to these factors to prevent and treat post-COVID-19 syndrome.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
