Long COVID in children and adolescents: a historical cohort study with a population-based control group from Iran
The variables of age and history of exposure to tobacco smoke exhibited a significant independent relationship with the occurrence of long-term COVID symptoms in children hospitalized due to COVID-19. Specifically, as age increases and the history of tobacco smoke exposure rises, the likelihood of experiencing long-term COVID symptoms also increases.
