Researchers analyzed the EHRs of 1,407 California COVID-19 patients. Results showed 27 percent of those patients experienced lingering symptoms 61 days after their initial infection. Of those, about one-third with persistent symptoms were asymptomatic for the first 10 days after testing positive for COVID-19.
Chest pain, shortness of breath, anxiety, abdominal pain and cough were among the most commonly reported lingering symptoms.
Additionally, the results identified clusters of persistent symptoms that are more likely to occur together, including chest pain and cough, and shortness of breath and cough, among others.
