Systems thinking in COVID-19 recovery is urgently needed to deliver sustainable development for women and girls

Jessica Omukuti, Matt Barlow, Maria Eugenia Giraudo, Tallulah Lines, Jean Grugel

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant implications for women's wellbeing in low-income and middle-income countries, requiring a planetary health perspective that embraces systems thinking to address gender inequalities comprehensively and effectively. International and regional actors have made important policy recommendations, but national-level responses have been partial and inconsistent with regards to gender, failing to recognize the multiple drivers of gendered health inequalities.

Post-COVID-19 Condition

Ani Nalbandian, Amar D. Desai, Elaine Y. Wan

Summary: An estimated 10-15% of COVID-19 patients may develop post-COVID-19 condition, with common lingering symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, high heart rate, and memory and cognitive dysfunction. The prevalence and duration of these symptoms remain uncertain due to heterogeneous research methods and limited patient follow-up. Risk factors may include female sex and underlying respiratory or psychiatric disease, and supportive therapies are the mainstay of treatment. Most patients experience symptom reduction within 1 year, but further research using standardized methods is needed to understand the pervasiveness and long-term consequences of this condition.

Long COVID (post-COVID-19 condition) in children: a modified Delphi process

Terence Stephenson, Benjamin Allin, Manjula D. Nugawela, Natalia Rojas, Emma Dalrymple, Snehal Pinto Pereira, Manas Soni, Marian Knight, Emily Y. Cheung, Isobel Heyman, Roz Shafran

Summary: The objective of this study was to establish a research definition for 'Long COVID (post-COVID-19 condition)' in children and young people (CYP) to enable comparison of research studies. A three-phase online Delphi process and a consensus meeting were conducted. The research definition proposed includes a minimum duration of 12 weeks of persisting physical symptoms after initial testing, impacting everyday functioning and not explained by an alternative diagnosis, in young people with a history of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. This is the first research definition of Long COVID in CYP and aligns with the clinical case definition proposed by the WHO.

Risk factors for post-COVID-19 condition (Long Covid) in children: a prospective cohort study

Rosa Morello, Francesco Mariani, Luca Mastrantoni, Cristina De Rose, Giuseppe Zampino, Daniel Munblit, Louise Sigfrid, Piero Valentini, Danilo Buonsenso

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors and longitudinal recovery rates of post-Covid-19 condition (PCC) in children and young people. The results showed that age, comorbidities, and hospitalization during the acute phase were associated with PCC. Most children recovered over time, but 5% of patients still had persistent symptoms 18 months after Sars-CoV-2 infection. Omicron infection was associated with shorter recovery times, and vaccination did not have a strong protective effect on PCC development. Therefore, new strategies are needed to prevent and treat pediatric PCC.

Post COVID-19 Condition in Children and Adolescents: An Emerging Problem

Jon Izquierdo-Pujol, Sara Moron-Lopez, Judith Dalmau, Alba Gonzalez-Aumatell, Clara Carreras-Abad, Maria Mendez, Carlos Rodrigo, Javier Martinez-Picado

Summary: The infection of SARS-CoV-2 has caused a global pandemic with millions of infections and deaths. While persistent sequelae of COVID-19 are less common in children/adolescents compared to adults, evidence suggests that children/adolescents may experience symptoms like fatigue, lack of concentration, and muscle pain. Understanding the pathophysiology and long-term effects of COVID-19 in young people is crucial for their physical, social, and psychological well-being.

Duration of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in children after natural infection or vaccination in the omicron and pre-omicron era: A systematic review of clinical and immunological studies

Danilo Buonsenso, Francesca Cusenza, Lucrezia Passadore, Francesca Bonanno, Claudia De Guido, Susanna Esposito

Summary: This study reviewed the duration of immune memory and risk of reinfection in children previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 or vaccinated. The evidence suggests that children infected with SARS-CoV-2 develop long-lasting immunity but have reduced cross-reactivity against the Omicron variant. Vaccination, on the other hand, provides better cross-neutralization against both pre-Omicron and Omicron variants. Based on these findings, it is recommended to offer booster vaccinations to children infected before Omicron and to more vulnerable children infected with Omicron.
