From the global COVID situation that went viral for 3 years, many people got infected and died. as well as the mutation of the virus Causing more people in the world to be infected with COVID for the second time, so it has been studied How much risk does a person have with a second or more COVID-19 infection? Compared to first-time COVID-19 patients
A study report was published in the world’s leading journal, Nature Medicine, on November 10, 2022. A study by the University of Washington in the School of Medicine. St. Louis, by Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, United States Department of Veterans Affairs collection of medical records of 5.3 million people.
There were 443,588 people who were infected with COVID once and 40,947 people who were infected twice or more.
Interesting results were found as follows:
1. People who have been infected with COVID twice have a 2.17-fold increased risk of death compared to people who have been infected with COVID once.
2. Those who were infected with COVID twice had a 3.32 times greater risk of becoming seriously ill, requiring hospitalization than those who were infected once.
3. People who have been infected with COVID twice have a significantly higher risk of developing problems with organs such as the lungs, heart, kidneys, bones, muscles, diabetes, blood system, mental health, nervous system and gastrointestinal tract.
4. People who have been infected with COVID 3 or more have a triple risk of heart problems, 3.5 times the risk of lung problems and 1.6 times the risk of nervous system problems. compared to a single stick which is usually found in the first month but can be found up to 6 months.
5. Whether it was Delta virus or Omicron BA.5, the results were the same.
6. Even if the infected person has been vaccinated before. There are still such risks that increase.
In this report, the researchers point out one limitation. This lines up with non-research experts like Professor J. Moore of Cornell Medical Center who think the sample size in this study, despite being large, is still relatively small. but it cannot represent the general population because it is an older person’s medical record. He was a white male and had severe symptoms.
Dr. C. Gounder of Kaiser Health News commented: It appears that the direction of increased risk will gradually increase with a decreasing rate when infected from the third time onwards.
gsaid in conclusion that should not be dependent on COVID Because there will be a problem with COVID up to 25% and can be extended for 6 months, and if already infected with COVID once You have to be careful not to cause a second infection because the second infection increased mortality and morbidity. Including disturbing the various organs more
