The patients seeking outpatient care for PASC seem to be different from those hospitalized during acute disease, and also from those discharged from the hospital to acute rehabilitation after COVID-19 infection 5,22,23 , causing investigators to think specifically about how best to reach, enroll and phenotype these patients. The American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation has convened expert panels that issued consensus guideline statements on how to assess and treat the symptoms of PASC 24 .…”
