Background and Goal: COVID-19 has been considered a condition leading to other post-COVID chronic conditions frequently diagnosed in the primary care setting. This study examines the prevalence of post-COVID conditions among adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19 across the United States from 2020-2021. The study then compares the post-COVID conditions among those patients to patients with influenza-like illness and those who had regular wellness visits but weren’t diagnosed with COVID-19. The goal was to understand the prevalence and types of post-COVID conditions over time, and to see if COVID-19 led to more long-term health problems.
