| contents | Moderate to severe post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), also called long COVID, is estimated to impact as many as 10% of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals, representing a chronic condition with a substantial global public health burden. An expansive literature has identified over 200 long-term and persistent symptoms associated with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection; yet, there remains to be a clear consensus on a syndrome definition. Such a definition is a critical first step in future studies of risk and resiliency factors, mechanisms of disease, and interventions for both treatment and prevention. We recently applied a strategy for defining a PASC research index based on a Lasso-penalized logistic regression on history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In the current paper we formalize and evaluate this approach through theoretical derivations and simulation studies. We demonstrate that this approach appropriately selects symptoms associated with PASC and results in a score that has high discriminatory power for detecting PASC. An application to data on participants enrolled in the RECOVER (Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery) Adult Cohort is presented to illustrate our findings. |
