    Journal Article

    According to the Our World in Data COVID-19 database, In Europe, the number of confirmed cases reported between December, 2021, and March, 2022 (omicron period) has exceeded all previously reported cases. To assess the association between long COVID (outcome) and the infection period (exposure), we applied a univariate logistic regression model adjusted by sex, IMD, age, the presence of comorbidities, vaccination status (one, two, or three doses), and body-mass index, all of which are related to the risk of long COVID.3 We stratified the analysis according to the time elapsed between infection and most recent vaccination considering three groups, 3 months, 3–6 months, and more than 6 months, to allow for potential waning of immunity from vaccination. ...to enable swift reporting, the period of assessment of omicron cases was slightly shorter than for the delta variant, and assessment of longer durations of long COVID (eg, >12 weeks) was not possible.
