French General Practitioners Frequently See Patients with Long-COVID

Résumé

A second epidemic has appeared among some patients infected with COVID-19 persistent disorders, commonly called "long COVID syndrome." Our study sought to identify the proportion of French GPs dealing with patients with potential long COVID syndrome and their symptoms in an online cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey among a representative national panel of GPs. The majority (53.8%) reported at least 1 patient with COVID-19 and persistent symptoms, and 33% 2 or more such patients. Their most frequent symptoms were respiratory difficulties (60.6%), psychological distress (42.8%), and anosmia-dysgeusia (40.8%). Long COVID syndrome's recognition, management, and rehabilitation are priorities requiring effective coordination between primary and secondary care.
