Stay informed about RECOVER’s Long COVID research by reading the latest news and participating in upcoming events.

This year, RECOVER researchers continue to publish results from research studies that deepen our understanding of Long COVID. RECOVER studies continue, with 2 clinical trials expected to reach enrollment goals this summer.
Researchers analyzed data from RECOVER’s pediatric observational study to better understand how Long COVID impacts infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children.
Findings from a recent RECOVER pediatric observational study show that the most common Long COVID symptoms experienced by children 0 to 5 years old can be different than those experienced by older children and adults.
A recent RECOVER Research Review (R3) Seminar held May 13 spotlighted research presented by Carolyn Bramante, MD, MPH (University of Minnesota) and Steve Johnson, PhD (University of Minnesota) exploring how metformin, a widely prescribed medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes, may help reduce the risk of Long COVID. The seminar also featured a presentation from Suzanne Vernon, PhD (Bateman Horne Center) on research examining the risk of developing myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) following a COVID-19 infection.
Five RECOVER study sites across the Pacific Northwest teamed up to form a consortium. Consortium members learn from other RECOVER researchers’ findings and share knowledge with the community.
Patient, Caregiver, and Community Representatives inform RECOVER research, help connect the initiative with different communities, and share news about RECOVER studies.
A recent RECOVER study found that women had a 31% higher risk for developing Long COVID than men. Findings from this study may help identify who is at a higher risk for developing Long COVID and potential Long COVID treatments.
Over the last two years, RECOVER Patient, Caregiver, and Community Representatives have helped plan and write more than 100 publications about RECOVER’s Long COVID research and its findings.
