Furthermore, we investigated the risk factors of long COVID in children and adolescents.<h4>Methods</h4>All consecutive children and adolescents who were referred to the hospitals anywhere in Fars province, Iran, from 19 February 2020 until 20 November 2020 were included. All patients had a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. In a phone call to patients/parents, at least 3 months after their discharge from the hospital, we obtained their current status and information if their parents agreed to participate.<h4>Results</h4>In total, 58 children and adolescents fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Twenty-six (44·8%) children/adolescents reported symptoms/complaints of long COVID. These symptoms included fatigue in 12 (21%), shortness of breath in 7 (12%), exercise intolerance in 7 (12%), weakness in 6 (10%), and walking intolerance in 5 (9%) individuals. Older age, muscle pain on admission, and intensive care unit admission were significantly associated with long COVID.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Long COVID is a frequent condition in children and adolescents. The scientific community should investigate and explore the pathophysiology of long COVID to ensure that these patients receive appropriate treatments for their condition.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":5.231108616854587,"endowment":5.231108616854587,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"34478045","pmcid":"PMC8414448","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W3198317448","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":16.705,"citation_percentile":0.99448112,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2021,"count":4},{"year":2022,"count":62},{"year":2023,"count":56},{"year":2024,"count":39},{"year":2025,"count":18},{"year":2026,"count":6}],"oa_status":"bronze","license":"https://www.springer.com/tdm","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12519-021-00457-6.pdf","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12519-021-00457-6.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12519-021-00457-6/fulltext.html","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12519-021-00457-6","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34478045","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/8414448","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC8414448","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC8414448?pdf=render","host_type":"Europe_PMC"}],"fields_of_study":["Long-Term Effects of COVID-19","Autoimmune and Inflammatory Disorders Research","Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Research"],"mesh_terms":["COVID-19","Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome","Adolescent","Child","Cross-Sectional Studies","Female","Humans","Iran","Male","Risk Factors","Prevalence"],"keywords":["Medicine","Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)","Pediatrics","Weakness","Pediatric surgery","Disease","Psychiatry","Internal medicine","Surgery","Children","Chronic","Coronavirus","Adolescents","Covid-19"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-01T15:47:42.996313Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
