• Respiratory function significantly declines in children with post-COVID-19 syndrome, indicating lasting effects.
• Children exhibited abnormal lung function in 85% of assessed cases, underscoring the prevalence of respiratory issues.
• Longitudinal study utilized functional lung imaging to monitor changes over time, providing valuable data on recovery.
• Implications highlight the need for ongoing assessment and early interventions for affected children.
