Abstract

This article aims to systematize the evidence regarding risk factors associated with COVID-19 reinfection. We conducted a systematic review of all the scientific publications available until August 2022. To ensure the inclusion of the most recent and relevant information, we searched the PubMed and Scopus databases. Thirty studies were reviewed, with a significant proportion being analytical observational case-control and cohort studies. Upon qualitative analysis of the available evidence, it appears that the probability of reinfection is higher for individuals who are not fully immunized when exposed to a new variant, females, those with pre-existing chronic diseases, individuals aged over 60, and those who have previously experienced severe symptoms of the disease or are immunocompromised. In conclusion, further analytical observational case-control studies are necessary to gain a better understanding of the risk factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) reinfection.

导致 SARS-CoV-2 再次感染的风险因素：系统综述

本文旨在整理与COVID-19再感染相关的危险因素的证据。我们对截至2022年8月的所有科学出版物进行了系统审查。为了确保包含最新和相关的信息，我们检索了PubMed和Scopus数据库。我们回顾了30项研究，其中很大一部分是分析性观察性病例对照和队列研究。根据对现有证据的定性分析，在接触新变种时未充分接种疫苗的个人、女性、已有慢性疾病的人、60岁以上的个人、以前经历过严重疾病症状的人或免疫功能低下的人，再感染的可能性似乎更高。总之，为了更好地了解与SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)再感染相关的危险因素，有必要进行进一步的分析性观察性病例对照研究。
