Abstract

During literature review we come across to different definitions of prolonged illness associated with SARS-CoV2 infection, which made it difficult to characterize and compare COVID-19 cases by epidemiological and clinical patterns. Our study is an attempt to assess post-COVID-19 frequency in the context of the case definitions. Prevalence of post-COVID-19 condition ranges from 10% up to 77.8% over the reviewed studies and tends to increase over time along with mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Consensus definition of Post-COVID Conditions is essential for identification and characterization of clinical, pathophysiological, laboratory, imaging and epidemiologic features of all forms of COVID-19 manifestation. It will help us better understand the disease entity, set up best-practice standards of care and elaborate effective control and preventive measures.
