A Medical Perspective: What We Know about the Long Term Health Effects

Part of the Occ-COVID Webinar Series

[January 15, 2021]

With more than 73 million documented infections of COVID-19 and 1.6 million deaths worldwide, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues unabated. The clinical spectrum of SARS-CoV-2 infection ranges from an asymptomatic infection to a life-threatening and fatal disease. Current estimates are that approximately 41 million people globally have “recovered”; however, clinicians are observing patients with persistent symptoms and others who develop complications after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Because COVID-19 is a new disease, much about it remains uncertain—in particular, the possible long-term health consequences.

95% Confidence Interval (CI)

95% Confidence Interval (CI) is a range of values (upper and lower) that you can be 95% certain contains the true mean of the population.

Relative Risk (RR)

The relative risk is a comparison of the risk of getting lung cancer for those exposed to diesel exhaust compared to those who have never been exposed to diesel exhaust – for example, if the relative risk is 1.5, it means that for the cumulative diesel exhaust exposure entered into the calculator, the risk associated with that exposure is 1.5 times higher than the background risk of lung cancer for those who have not been occupationally exposed to diesel exhaust.
