Alopecia areata

TLDR The research found that COVID-19 survivors experienced long-term effects like anemia and hypertension, with age and gender being important factors, but race, income, and education had little to no impact.

The study analyzed a large medical claims database of over 1.37 million US-based COVID-19 survivors to identify long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 and their associations with various social and medical risk factors. The researchers found 36 out of 1,724 3-digit ICD-10 codes to be significantly increased in the post-COVID period, including 'other anemias' and 'hypertension'. The study also revealed that age and gender were significantly associated with multiple long-term effects. However, other social determinants of health such as race, income, and education levels showed rare or no significant associations. Specifically, race was only associated with 'other sepsis', income was only associated with 'Alopecia areata', and education level was only associated with 'Maternal infectious and parasitic diseases'.
