Recovery trajectories and predictors of symptom resolution in post-COVID-19 condition: a population-based cohort study

Summary: Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to persistent symptoms, known as Post-COVID-19 Condition (PCC). Previous studies on PCC prognosis mainly looked at severe cases in rehabilitation settings and without knowledge about pre-infection symptom levels. Uncertainty remains about recovery trajectory in the general population, its predictors, and whether recovery differs by symptom.
