ABSTRACT
Given the global burden of COVID-19 among healthcare workers (HCWs), it is expected that they face an elevated risk of developing post-COVID-19 syndrome. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of post-COVID-19 syndrome and associated risk factors in HCWs followed for a median time of 18 months by conducting a retrospective cohort study. All HCWs with confirmed COVID-19 during the period from January 2021 to December 2022 were included in the study. HCWs were regularly assessed after COVID-19 diagnosis, so post-COVID-19 syndrome data could be collected. During the study period, 463 HCWs were included in the study, 227 (49.0%) of which experienced post-COVID-19 syndrome. The most common persistent symptoms were fatigue (n = 147 [32.5%]), memory disorders (n = 98 [21.5%]), dyspnea (n = 73 [16.0%]), anxiety/depression (n = 69 [15.0%]), and cough (n = 43 [9.4%]). Female sex and obesity were statistically associated with the development of post-COVID-19 syndrome. A high prevalence of post-COVID-19 syndrome in HCWs was found. Female sex and obesity appear to be risk factors associated with a higher prevalence of post-COVID-19 syndrome. Special attention should be given to these patients with risk factors during follow-up in the COVID-19 recovery period.
