    Studying severe long COVID to understand post-infectious disorders beyond COVID-19 by Petter Brodin et al

    Collectively, we believe that our genetic and immunological studies of patients with severe long COVID hold potential for better understanding of this complex condition, and by focusing on severe cases that develop after mild COVID-19, we maximize our chances of success. Our results would probably be applicable beyond COVID-19 and will hopefully provide important insights of relevance into other post-infectious disorders such as myalgic encephalomyelitis

    Not very impressive is it.

    They seem to want to rule out everyone who wasn't in intensive care with covid as suffering from LC, they state that they wish to exclude pw psychosomatic complaints, implying they consider psychosomatic complaints to be a real thing.

    I have no doubt they may be studying something, possibly something important, but what the rest of the world considers LC, they really aint researching that

    IMO..

    Yes, I was left feeling confused as to who they would in fact be studying. "People with severe organ damage or dysfunction that can be objectively verified" - so, does that mean 2xCPETs? tilt table testing? Or just people with heart or lung damage etc that shows up on a scan, and where the damage does not relate to the severity of their infection?

    perhaps this bothers me more than it should but it does.

    if you are going to use that word in any legitimizing context, then you need to define what you do and do not mean. best not to use it at all in a context like this.
