Looking for references: Initial covid infection severity and development of ME/CFS

Is anyone aware of studies that have quantified the severity of initial COVID-19 infection and development of ME/CFS?

We know that (i) ME/CFS can develop after any severity of acute infection; (ii) patients often report development of ME/CFS after mild or moderate infection; but do we have data on this?

If not, data answering the same question but for long COVID of any form, will do.

Thanks.

Compared with healthy controls, survivors of mild-moderate acute symptoms group and severe-critical group had a significantly higher score of cognitive complains involving cognitive failure and mental fatigue. However, there was no difference of cognitive complaints between two groups of COVID-19 survivors

Seems to suggest severity of neurological Long COVID symptoms is not associated with severity of acute infection.

See study thread
