TL;DR: This study presents estimates of the proportion of individuals with at least 1 of the 3 self-reported Long COVID symptom clusters in 2020 and 2021, which were more common in women aged 20 years or older by sex and for both sexes of nonhospitalized individuals younger than 20 years of age.

TL;DR: This study aimed to provide a novel approach to estimating past SARS-CoV-2 daily infections, cumulative infections, and the proportion of the population infected, for 190 countries and territories from the start of the pandemic to Nov 14, 2021.

TL;DR: The incidence and prevalence of long COVID globally and by country in 2020 and 2021 as well as the severity-weighted prevalence using disability weights from the Global Burden of Disease study are estimated.
