A survey reveals the tremendous toll that long COVID has taken on patients' employment, quality of life, and social support network.
MADRID — A survey in Spain of the progress of individuals with long COVID reveals the tremendous toll that the condition has taken on their employment, quality of life, and social support network. The survey revealed that 46% of patients experience slight to significant difficulty performing their work, and that approximately 10% have lost their jobs.
Nearly half of patients with long COVID were on leave at the time or were experiencing significant difficulty as they worked, compared with 15.6% who reported working under normal conditions, according to preliminary results from the follow-up survey. In addition, 9.5% of respondents lost their jobs due the illness, and under 3% had a permanent disability.
The results of this survey have been analyzed and prepared for publication in an international scientific journal. The goal is to share with the medical community the findings regarding the nature of the disease, its diagnosis, and the effectiveness of various therapies used, in addition to the impact that this disease has had on society.
REiCOP arose from an alliance between the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians and the Long Covid ACT in September 2021. The network has consistently centered on patient groups and comprises 65 scientific organizations.
