Pediatric long COVID: relationships with premorbid history of anxiety or depression and health-related quality of life
Prevalence of anxious and depressive symptoms in this clinical sample was high. Screening measures for mood and anxiety overlap with physical symptoms of long COVID and use of collateral information is recommended. The relationship between the Ineffectiveness subscale and the PedsQL warrants further investigation to evaluate if they assess the same domain or if negative perception of abilities contributes to health-related quality of life.
