Post COVID-19 condition phenotypes: A prospective cohort study identifying four symptom clusters and their impact on long-term outcomes
While many patients with PCC improved over time, a subset had persistent symptoms at 3 years, especially if primary infection required hospitalisation. The identification of symptom clusters and their trajectories over time contributes to a better understanding of PCC heterogeneity, ultimately bringing the field closer to consensus on the classification and long-term impact of PCC.
