A CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FOR POST-ACUTE SEQUELAE OF SARS CoV-2 INFECTION

This study aimed to contribute the development of a research case definition for post-acute sequelae SARS CoV-2 infection (PASC) using PASC data set and experiences from definitions developed myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Our database included patients with who provided self-report symptomology during onset time survey completion (post-infection). We found that we could distinguish between those mild, moderate, severe PASC. Regarding proportion meeting an ME/CFS definition, 0% in mildly impaired group, 30.6% 62.6% moderately 74.3% 89.0% severely group. Based on these preliminary data, propose 5-part classification system Axis 1 involves variant COVID type documentation infection. 2 elapsed since 3 medical collateral damage different organs. 4 functional impairment classified into three categories: or severe. Finally, 5 is identified symptoms. if patient has been sick 6 more months, it important determine whether person met criteria. proposed might bring considerable clarity diagnosing
