On one hand, there are some who believe Long Covid afflicts 43% of Covid patients. On the other, some commentators say Long Covid is basically psychosomatic. Neither extreme is correct. And yet more than 3 years into the pandemic, the search for an objective medical finding that clinches a Long Covid diagnosis—be it blood markers, lung tests, specific cognitive tests, imaging—has come up short.

Great explanation regarding clinical trials and K-M curves as it applies to “syndromes” that we have not yet fully understood! Indeed it does appear that long COVID is real. The challenge now is to understand the pathobiology of the condition and today we can use ML to help us discover likely pathways. Thanks for a great write-up!

As a novice in pharmaceutical research, thank you for this awesome explanation on Kaplan-Meier curves!!
Thank you. A persuasive explanation.
