Analysis on Long Covid - June 2022

The Camden and Islington Public Health Intelligence team has recently completed a needs assessment of Long Covid in North Central London, to explore the burden of Long Covid locally, its impact on residents, and analysis of the system response. The analysis highlights that expected prevalence of Long Covid is much higher than recorded diagnoses in primary care, suggesting that many people with Long Covid may not be receiving a formal diagnosis. The analysis also explores patterns in expected prevalence, diagnosis and referral rates by age, gender, deprivation and ethnicity, variation between primary care networks, and analysis of data from NCL’s Post-Covid specialist clinic. This analysis will help to identify opportunities to improve Long Covid awareness, pathways and care.卡姆登与伊斯灵顿公共卫生情报团队近期完成了北伦敦中部（North Central London，简称NCL）长期新冠（Long Covid）的需求评估，旨在探究当地长期新冠的疾病负担、其对居民的影响，以及医疗体系应对措施的分析。分析结果显示，长期新冠的预期患病率远高于基层医疗记录的确诊病例数，提示许多长期新冠患者或未获得正式诊断。此外，本次分析还围绕不同年龄、性别、社会剥夺程度与种族维度下的预期患病率、确诊率及转诊率模式，各初级保健网络间的差异，以及NCL新冠后专科诊所的数据分析展开研究。本项分析将助力明确提升公众对长期新冠的认知、优化诊疗路径与照护服务。
