de-factoLjL, why dont they include vaccine status?21:53
de-facto"COVID-19 vaccination reduces the risk of long COVID [2, 4, 32] .We do not report vaccine status, but Denmark had a 90% vaccine coverage (two doses) before the Omicron period in age groups included in this study [33]"21:53
de-factoid like to know if there was a selection bias for non-vaccinated (Omicron) cases in their long COVID groups21:53
de-facto"Reinfection increases long COVID risk, with cumulative risk for repeated infections [32, 34]. In this study we did not register reinfections."21:54
de-factoWHY?!21:54
de-factoagain would have been an interesting datapoint21:54

LjLde-facto, agreed about vaccinations, i don't see why they don't report them. but how would they know why they didn't register reinfections? the data point is that they didn't, the "why" may be unknown to them23:37
LjLde-facto, also this study doesn't tell us how *likely* it is to get long COVID from Omicron vs Delta vs Alpha etc... since it's from a long COVID clinic, everybody has long COVID. the sad news from it is that if you get it from Omicron, it's as bad as from Delta. but that doesn't imply that you're as likely to get it from Omicron as from Delta (although i think other studies point to "yes, you are"...)23:38
