Long COVID Research Update
The 2024 update to the Recover Adult Long COVID Research Index enhances the understanding of long COVID by refining symptom classifications. Based on a substantial cohort of over 13,000 participants who experienced their first SARS-CoV infection more than four months prior, the updated index introduces new scoring criteria. A score of 11 or higher indicates likely long COVID, while a score between one and 10 suggests possible long COVID, a category not present in previous assessments. The research aims to create a more precise and replicable classification system, allowing for better comparison across studies and ensuring that only individuals with actual long COVID are included.
