Genetic and Survey Data Improves Performance of Machine Learning Model for Long COVID.

Over 200 million SARS-CoV-2 patients have or will develop persistent symptoms (long COVID). Given this pressing research priority, the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) developed a machine learning model using only electronic health record data to identify potential patients with long COVID. We hypothesized that additional data from health surveys, mobile devices, and genotypes could improve prediction ability.
