Looking forward to the #Oncosuisse Forum in Bern today and discussing about the priority needs of #healthcare and #epidemiology #research in #oncology with Swiss experts and stakeholders!

This🇨🇭study shows that within one year of COVID-19 diagnosis, the presence of self-reported #Covid-19 related symptoms was associated with a reduction in work ability, with 1 in 15 experiencing occupational changes and 1.6% leaving work completely.

A study on Pycnogenol (a natural remedy) in people affected by #LongCovid just began enrollment at our institute @uzh_EBPI in Zurich.

Interested in participating? More information here (German): https://t.co/ZVyu75w6aj

What are the longer term trajectories of symptoms and health outcomes related to post covid-19 condition #LongCovid in people infected with the #Coronavirus before vaccine rollout?

Excited to finally see our study published @bmj_latest https://t.co/1zi2oco9uL

This means that we need effective strategies and interventions to support those affected by Long Covid to continue to work and improve their work ability.

Many thanks once again to the study participants for their important contribution! @CoronaImmunitas

In our population-based study, we found that work ability was relevantly reduced in people affected by #LongCovid (post COVID-19 condition). Almost 6% of those had occupational changes as a result, and 1.6% could not work anymore.

We recently showed that #LongCovid remains an important issue even 24 months after a Coronavirus infection.

But how does it impact the ability to work in those affected? We looked at this in our latest study.

These findings are very important for designing and interpreting clinical trials that aim to find treatments or interventions to relieve symptoms associated with post covid-19 condition #LongCovid.

Post-covid-19 condition remains a global public health crisis.

Understanding the trajectory of symptom burden and recovery is crucial, writes @QiaoWu4

Around 1 in 6 unvaccinated individuals say they are still experiencing health effects of covid-19 up to two years after infection, finds this study.

The findings show that 18% reported covid-19 related symptoms 24 months after initial infection
