Analyzing electronic medical records to identify COVID-19 sequelae

In a recent study published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, researchers analyzed and compared pre‒ and post‒COVID-19 diagnostic codes to identify symptoms that had higher encounter incidence in the post‒COVID-19 period as sequelae. COVID-19 sequelae and future emerging diseases can be generated and monitored using this method.
