In this way, we could exclude new onset symptoms that were due to a new SARS-CoV-2 infection and not related to the first SARS-CoV-2 infection (i.e., all positive test occurring the first 30 days after the first positive test were regarded to result from the same infection period29)...

to increase the representativeness of findings to long COVID in the community. Unlike newly established studies which have collected exposure data during the pandemic, the long-running data collections in both LS and EHR allowed us to studyprospectiveassociations of risk factors with long COVID, ...
