Introduction Long COVID, Post-COVID19 syndrome and prolonged COVID-19, are concepts classified as the set of signs and symptoms that persist after an acute episode of COVID-19 disease.
Objective To describe what definitions have been published for the term “long COVID”.
Methods The PRISMA ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) was used as a base for a scoping review, as suggested by Joanna Briggs Institute. A search of databases, Medline via PubMed, Embase, SciELO and The Cochrane Library was undertaken. The data registry and synthesis of the results was carried out independently by two reviewers.
Results Following removal of duplicates, 896 articles were retrieved of which 91 met the eligibility principles and 51 of which included a definition. At least four characteristics of the definitions were identified: time or term, organs affected, symptoms and clinical manifestations.
Conclusions The review identified many concepts and definitions of “long COVID”. These findings show that there is lack of consensus on the definition of long COVID-19.
Introducción El COVID prolongado, el síndrome post-COVID-19 y el COVID-19 prolongado son conceptos clasificados como el conjunto de signos y síntomas que persisten después de un episodio agudo de la enfermedad COVID-19.
Objetivo Describir las definiciones que se han publicado para el término “COVID prolongado”.
Métodos Se utilizó el PRISMA ScR (elementos de información preferidos para revisiones sistemáticas y metaanálisis, extensión para revisiones de alcance) como base para una revisión exploratoria, tal y como sugiere el instituto Joanna Briggs. Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos Medline a través de PubMed, Embase, SciELO y The Cochrane Library. El registro de datos y la síntesis de los resultados se llevaron a cabo de forma independiente por dos revisores.
Resultados Tras eliminar los duplicados, se recuperaron 896 artículos, de los cuales 91 cumplían los criterios de elegibilidad y 51 incluían una definición. Se identificaron al menos cuatro características de las definiciones: tiempo o plazo, órganos afectados, síntomas y manifestaciones clínicas.
Conclusiones La revisión identificó varios conceptos y definiciones de “COVID prolongado”. Estos hallazgos indican una falta de consenso sobre su definición.
