Abstract

In this study, the authors use electronic health record data from the US to characterise post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). They identify 17 common PASC conditions and find an overall ~12% increase in risk of PASC conditions in the post-acute period among people with a SARS-CoV-2 positive test compared to matched test-negative controls.
