An international comparison of longitudinal health data collected on long COVID in nine high income countries: a qualitative data analysis
Addressing research questions related to the management of long COVID requires diverse data sources that capture different populations with long COVID over the long-term. No country examined has developed a comprehensive long-term data system for long COVID, and, in many settings, data collection is ending leaving a gap. There is no obvious model for England or other countries to follow, assuming there remains sufficient policy interest in establishing a long-term long COVID patient registry.
