Long COVID Among Wisconsin Workers in the Workers' Compensation System: Associations With Sociodemographics,
Komi K S Modji1, Katherine E McCoy, Paul D Creswell
1From the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Madison, Wisconsin (K.K.S.M., K.E.M., P.D.C. C.R.M., C.D.T.); and School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin (K.K.S.M., K.E.M., P.D.C., C.D.T.).
Objective:
This analysis aimed to determine the likelihood of developing long COVID among Wisconsin workers while adjusting for sociodemographics, COVID-19 vaccination, industry, and occupation.
Methods:
This retrospective analysis determined the odds ratios of developing long COVID among Wisconsin workers who were compensated for COVID-19 lost time during March 1, 2020 to July 31, 2022.
Results:
A total of 234 workers (11.7%) were determined to have long COVID. Factors associated with long COVID were age ≥40 years, non-White race, infection occurrence during the initial and Omicron variant dominant periods, and the absence of COVID-19 vaccination. Workers in manufacturing and public administration were more likely to develop long COVID compared with those in health care and social assistance.
Conclusions:
Long COVID disproportionately affects some worker groups. This calls for more worker protection and preventative care to mitigate its impact.
