Healthcare utilization by long coronavirus disease (COVID) or LC patients between January 2020 and 2023.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaOct 24 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study posted to the SSRN* preprint server, researchers evaluated healthcare utilization by long coronavirus disease or LC patients between January 2020 and 2023.
In the United Kingdom alone, LC has impacted millions of individuals; however, the LC burden on healthcare systems has not been extensively investigated. Improving our understanding of healthcare utilization could inform LC-related clinical care, service provision, and policy development. Healthcare utilization care, secondary-level care and inflation-controlled expenses were calculated for long COVID and controls every month, pandemic year, and calendar year for all categories.
For ED and IP, long COVID patients showed higher healthcare utilization than controls except for the COVID-19-only, no-long COVID group. Non-COVID contemporaries utilized healthcare resources the least. Healthcare utilization by long COVID patients increased progressively from 2020 to 2023 compared to controls.
The mean cost per long COVID patient per year was significantly higher in the long COVID group compared to controls: pre-COVID-19: £1,210 , COVID-19-only, no-long COVID: £1,283, and pre-long COVID: £870, except for the COVID-19 and no-long COVID: £5,961.
