Abstract

Introdução: A COVID-19 produz sintomas persistentes e complicações após a infecção. A Síndrome Pós-COVID-19 é o conjunto de manifestações clínicas, geradas durante ou após a infecção pelo COVID 19, esta síndrome requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar que permita o acompanhamento dos pacientes envolvidos e a aplicação de medidas preventivas. O termo “Long COVID” é preferido para sintomas persistentes com duração superior a quatro semanas. Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência, principais manifestações, fisiopatologia e fatores de risco do Long COVID. Metodologia: Uma revisão sistemática foi realizada usando o método PRISMA. Resultados: 450 artigos foram recuperados na busca realizada nas bases de dados PubMed e Scopus, após a aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade, obteve-se um total de 29 publicações. Conclusões: A prevalência de Long COVID variou entre 48,9% e 100%, os potenciais fatores de risco foi sexo feminino, faixa etária de 49 a >55 anos, maior número de sintomas diferentes na primeira semana de infecção, presença de comorbidades, internação na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva; e sua fisiopatologia se deve a diferentes mecanismos de resposta do sistema imunológico contra a infecção e seus efeitos a longo prazo.
