Sex, age and existing health problems increase risk of long COVID, NIHR
Women, people aged 50-60, and people with poor pre-pandemic mental or physical health are more at risk of long COVID, according to research funded by the NIHR and UK Research and Innovation.

The new research looked at data from 10 UK long-term studies established before the pandemic, which have tracked participants over many years. Data from these studies were combined with 1.1 million anonymised electronic health records from English general practices. (Source: Current Awareness Ser...

Big data and long COVID, The Lancet Digital Health
In this issue, Emily Pfaff and colleagues show that machine learning analysis of electronic health records could be crucial in diagnosing patients with long COVID. This is the latest in a plethora of studies to use big data to determine prevalence, symptoms, or risk factors for long COVID. But is big data helping to treat patients with this heterogeneous condition, or should we be redirecting our efforts elsewhere? (Source: Current Awareness Service for Health (CASH))

Developing a shared sepsis data infrastructure: a systematic review and concept map to FHIR Br
The development of a shared data infrastructure across health systems could improve research, clinical care, and health policy across a spectrum of diseases, including sepsis. Awareness of the potential value of such infrastructure has been heightened by COVID-19, as the lack of a real-time, interoperable data network impaired disease identification, mitigation, and eradication. The Sepsis on FHIR collaboration establishes a dynamic, federated, and interoperable system of sepsis data from 55 hospitals using 2 distinct inpatient electronic health record systems. Here we report on phase 1, a systematic review to identify cli...

At Least 20% of People Who Get COVID-19 Develop Lingering Conditions, CDC Study Says
By now, it’s abundantly clear that COVID-19 is not always an illness that clears quickly and leaves no trace. Millions of people in the U.S., and even more around the world, have Long COVID, the name for symptoms that last months or even years after an infection. Now, a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) helps quantify just how often COVID-19 is linked to subsequent health issues. Among U.S. adults younger than 65 who have had COVID-19, roughly one in five has developed a health condition that may be related to the virus, the report says. Among people 65 or older, about one in f...
