Persistent COVID-19 condition includes a wide variety of symptoms and health problems
of indeterminate duration. The present study examined the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the population with Long COVID seen in Primary Care using a questionnaire based on
the existing scientific literature. It was an observational and descriptive study of the characteristics
of the Spanish population with Long COVID over 14 years of age. The responses were analysed
by means of a descriptive analysis of the variables recorded, in addition to a bivariate analysis
to determine the existence of a relationship between persistent COVID-19 and variables such as
gender, age, vaccination status or concomitant pathology. The results obtained clearly describe the
sociodemographic characteristics of the population, highlighting the predominance of female gender
and the prevalence of tiredness and fatigue. Furthermore, relevant information was obtained on
the differences in symptomatology according to gender, age, previous pathologies and alterations
derived from infection and/or vaccination. These data are important for better detection, diagnosis
and treatment of Long COVID and the improvement of the quality of life of this population.
