A new report defines the infection-associated chronic condition as lasting at least 3 months, with single or multiple symptoms and without need for confirmatory tests.
A new broadly inclusive definition of long COVID from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has been developed with the aim of improving consistency, documentation, and treatment for both adults and children.
The new definition was developed at the request of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health . It was written by a multistakeholder panel convened by NASEM, which recommended that the new definition be universally adopted by the federal government, clinical societies and associations, public health practitioners, clinicians, payers, the drug industry, and others using the term long COVID.
Indeed, the NASEM report also introduces the term infection-association chronic condition . This was important, Fineberg said,"because it's the larger family of conditions of which long COVID is a part. It emphasizes a relatedness of long COVID to other conditions that can follow from a variety of infections. We also adopted the term 'disease state' to convey the seriousness and reality of this condition in the lives of patients.
