Identifying Long COVID Using Patient Symptoms in Electronic Health Records: Findings from the Nationwide RECOVER Program

Advanced computational tools may help identify and characterize Long COVID patients using symptom reports and electronic health records.

• Summarized symptom reports from RECOVER-Adult cohort participants are linked to electronic health record (EHR) data.
• The approach focuses on better understanding the characteristics of Long COVID patients.
• A computable phenotype algorithm is being trained to enhance the identification of Long COVID.
• Current knowledge about Long COVID remains limited, indicating a critical need for improved diagnostic tools.
