The COVID-19 pandemic is a huge public health crisis in the 21st century. In addition to the acute symptoms, a considerable proportion of patients worldwide have suffered from post-COVID-19 syndrome, commonly known as Long COVID. The impact of Long COVID on individual and public health burden cannot be ignored. According to recent researches, Long COVID has been affecting multiple organ systems throughout the body, with respiratory, mental, nervous and digestive symptoms often seen in Chinese population. Clinical studies have proved that symptoms were alleviated by a variety of treatments, such as physical therapy, rehabilitation training, psychological support, behavioral cognitive therapy, stem cell therapy, etc. Based on the current clinical evidence, it is recommended to strengthen the scientific research on Long COVID and actively carry out early monitoring and intervention in the future, so as to effectively prevent the long-term disease burden and economic pressure.
新冠疫情是21世纪一场巨大的公共卫生危机。除了急性症状外，全球相当一部分患者还遭受了新冠后遗症的折磨，通常被称为“长新冠”。“长新冠”对个人和公共卫生负担的影响不容忽视。根据最近的研究，“长新冠”一直在影响全身多个器官系统，在中国人群中经常出现呼吸、精神、神经和消化症状。临床研究证明，通过多种治疗方法，如物理治疗、康复训练、心理支持、行为认知疗法、干细胞疗法等，症状得到了缓解。基于目前的临床证据，建议加强对“长新冠”的科研，并在未来积极开展早期监测和干预，以有效预防长期疾病负担和经济压力。
