Predictors of health care utilization in patients with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC)
Higher illness severity, medical comorbidities, and infection during the Delta and pre-Delta periods were associated with PASC care seeking. COVID immunization and metformin were associated with lower PASC care seeking. These findings could be useful in understanding the patterns and burden of care seeking for a new disease entity.
