Characterisation and Management of Children and Young People Referred to a Paediatric Tertiary Post-COVID Service
Patients referred for PCC-related specialist input have significant functional impairment and challenges accessing education. More than half of those seen in specialist clinics showed functional improvement and increased school attendance over 6 months, while a subgroup had persistent symptoms. This suggests that the service model is beneficial for this complex patient group overall, although needs to be resourced for longer input for some. Further work is needed to understand the variability in presentation and symptom course.
