Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can lead to postacute sequelae in multiple organ systems, but evidence is mostly limited to the first year postinfection. We built a cohort of 138,818 individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection and 5,985,227 noninfected control group from the US Department of Veterans Affairs and followed them for 2 years to estimate the risks of death and 80 prespecified postacute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) according to care setting during the acute phase of infection. The increased risk of death was not significant beyond 6 months after infection among nonhospitalized but remained significantly elevated through the 2 years in hospitalized individuals. Within the 80 prespecified sequelae, 69% and 35% of them became not significant at 2 years after infection among nonhospitalized and hospitalized individuals, respectively. Cumulatively at 2 years, PASC contributed 80.4 (95% confidence interval (CI): 71.6-89.6) and 642.8 (95% CI: 596.9-689.3) disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) per 1,000 persons among nonhospitalized and hospitalized individuals; 25.3% (18.9-31.0%) and 21.3% (18.2-24.5%) of the cumulative 2-year DALYs in nonhospitalized and hospitalized were from the second year. In sum, while risks of many sequelae declined 2 years after infection, the substantial cumulative burden of health loss due to PASC calls for attention to the care needs of people with long-term health effects due to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)感染可导致多个器官系统的急性后期后遗症,但证据主要局限于感染后 1 年。我们从美国退伍军人事务部建立了一个由 138818 名 SARS-CoV-2 感染患者和 5985227 名未感染对照组组成的队列,并对他们进行了 2 年的随访,以根据感染急性期的治疗环境来估计 COVID-19 急性后期后遗症(PASC)的 80 种预设风险。非住院患者感染后 6 个月后死亡风险无显著增加,但住院患者在 2 年内仍显著升高。在 80 种预设后遗症中,分别有 69%和 35%在非住院和住院患者感染后 2 年变得无显著意义。在 2 年内累积,PASC 导致非住院和住院患者每 1000 人分别损失 80.4(95%置信区间:71.6-89.6)和 642.8(95%置信区间:596.9-689.3)个伤残调整生命年(DALY);非住院和住院患者累积 2 年 DALY 中分别有 25.3%(18.9-31.0%)和 21.3%(18.2-24.5%)来自第 2 年。总之,尽管许多后遗症的风险在感染后 2 年下降,但由于 PASC 导致的健康损失的大量累积负担需要关注因 SARS-CoV-2 感染而长期存在健康影响的人群的护理需求。
