    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and has caused significant mortality and morbidity since it was first recognized in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Patients may suffer from a constellation of symptoms termed post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) . Here we present findings of a retrospective cohort study describing the prevalence and predicting factors of patient-reported post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). Categorical variables were summarized as frequency (percentage) and compared between vaccine status groups using Fisher's exact test. Continuous variables were reported as median (range) and compared between the groups using Kruskal-Wallis test. All tests were two-sided with p value <0.05 considered statistically significant. Survey data from 132 patients with a median age of 45 years, 68% female, 83% Caucasian/Non-Hispanic. The most frequently reported PASC symptoms include fatigue (84.8%), dyspnea (54.5%), cognitive dysfunction (53%), myalgias (37.1%), lightheadedness or vertigo (36.4%), chest pain (34.8%), palpitations (34.8%), headaches (34.1%), arthralgias (31.8%), and unrefreshing sleep (31.1%). There is mounting evidence that supports higher prevalence of PASC in women, White/Caucasian, and middle-aged individuals. This knowledge can provide guidance to clinical practices to anticipate and support healthcare and self-care needs for patients at higher risk to developing PASC.

    Abstract Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Over 220 countries and territories have been affected by this virus, and the infection rate has continued to rise. As patients recover from the virus, many are experiencing lingering symptoms. Understanding the impact of demographics and comorbidities on symptom prevalence, manifestations, and severity is not only relevant during acute infection, it is critical to the clinical management of patients with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19, also known as PASC. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review on the most recent research related to PASC. Specifically, we focus on the description of the disorder itself, compared to acute COVID-19, and which types of patients are most affected by long-term sequelae. Further, we share recommendations for management of the most common complications of PASC.

    Abstract Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain sensitivity syndrome characterized by diffuse musculoskeletal pain and many other systemic manifestations. Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) has been increasingly used as an off-label treatment option in FM. However, current evidence on the safety and efficacy of LDN in patients with FM is not well known. To systematically assess the current evidence on the safety and efficacy of LDN use in the treatment of FM. A comprehensive bibliographic search was conducted on EBM Reviews - Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EBM Reviews - Cochrane Database of Systematic, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE(R) and Epub Ahead of Print, In-Process, In-Data-Review & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Daily and Versions and Scopus databases in September 2022. Inclusion criteria were articles that were published in English, focusing on clinical trials involving LDN for the treatment of FM. Two reviewers independently screened and extracted the data. A qualitative analysis was used due to the high methodological heterogeneity between studies. The electronic search produced 805 articles. After applying the inclusion criteria, 9 articles (one RCT, two case reports, two case series, and four pilot trials) were selected for evaluation. LDN intervention protocols, study designs, and follow-up periods were different among the included studies. Overall, LDN was found to be effective in the symptomatic management of FM, and of the 78% of included studies that evaluated for safety, no severe adverse events were reported. Proving the efficacy and safety of low-dose naltrexone is a future possibility based on current study data, but the level of scientific evidence is limited. Future well-designed trials with large sample sizes are required.

    Abstract Background: Our goal was to assess the demographics, risk factors, and hospital admission and length of stay (LOS) among patients with acute COVID-19 and to identify whether age, smoking status, race, risk factors, and sex significantly affect the severity of illness according to hospitalization or admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Severity was defined as admission to the hospital or ICU.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort chart review included patients who received care from March 13 to August 17, 2020, at a single academic medical center. Age, COVID-19 risk factors, sex, race, smoking history, and hospital LOS were analyzed with hospital admission and ICU admission. Categorical variables were summarized.
    Results: The chart review assessed 1,697 adult patients with various degrees of severity of COVID-19 illness: 23 patients had been admitted to the hospital, and 7 had been admitted to the ICU. Older age and more COVID-19 risk factors, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, were significantly associated with hospital admissions, and longer LOS was statistically associated with ICU admission.
    Conclusions: Severe COVID-19 infection was associated with older age and more risk factors. Current smoking status, sex, and race were not significantly different between hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 infection who were admitted to the ICU and those who were not admitted to the ICU.

    Abstract The past six decades have been marked by leaps and bounds in medical advances, while concurrently clinical outcomes and the quality of life continued to lag or decline. There is a need for more comprehensive approaches to delivering healthcare to patients that address illness and wellness within and outside healthcare settings. Mounting evidence shows that making sustainable changes in healthcare requires approaching patients'/individuals' care as a continuum-within and outside healthcare settings-while addressing their capacity (ie ability) and workload (ie demands) and incorporating their values and preferences. Health and Wellness Coaching (HWC) has been proposed as a solution to create partnerships to empower individuals to take ownership, leadership, and accountability of their well-being, using nondirective, empathic, and mindful conversations that employ motivational-interviewing and evidence-based approaches. Insufficient clarity exists among healthcare professionals in understanding the definition, roles, and types of HWC. This primer summarizes HWC concepts and history and compares HWC types and its potential role in promoting, supporting, and improving the well-being, clinical outcomes, and quality of life of the pertinent stakeholders. This primer also highlights current and potential areas of application of HWC within different subpopulations and healthcare-related settings.

    Abstract Objective: To outline a consensus-designed process for triaging and managing patients with post-coronavirus disease (COVID-19) syndrome at Mayo Clinic.
    Patients and methods: We convened a central multidisciplinary team including members from the departments of general internal medicine, occupational medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, psychology, allergy and immunology, infectious disease, pulmonology, neurology, cardiology, and pediatrics and otorhinolaryngology with membership from all Mayo Clinic sites in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
    Results: Consensus recommendations were made for the best practice guidelines on triaging and managing patients. Several innovations were agreed upon, including a postacute sequelae of COVID-19-specific appointment request form for data collection, a bioregistry, a biorepository, and a postacute sequelae of COVID-19-specific treatment program.
    Conclusion: Given that each clinical site had individual clinical practices, these recommendations were implemented using different models, which may provide broad applicability to other clinical settings.
