Prognostic factors and recovery trajectory of post-chikungunya rheumatic manifestations: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Previous meta-analyses have quantified the prevalence of long-term chikungunya-related disabilities and summarized associated factors. However, these approaches largely treated chronic manifestations as static outcomes and did not characterize the temporal process of symptom resolution. Consequently, the duration and dynamics of recovery remain poorly understood. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to integrate prognostic factors and reconstruct the recovery trajectory of post-chikungunya rheumatic manifestations.
