The results of multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that the presence of a burdened comorbid background-specifically obesity and allergic pathology-fever during the acute phase of the disease or the presence of three or more symptoms, as well as laboratory abnormalities including thrombocytosis, neutrophilia, alterations in prothrombin time (either shortened or prolonged), and reduced serum vitamin D levels, are predictors of long COVID development among pediatric patients.
