Background: Most studies that explore the long-term effects of COVID-19 are based on subjectively reported symptoms, while laboratory-measured biomarkers are mainly examined in studies of relatively small cohorts. This study investigates the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on common laboratory biomarkers.
Methods: We utilized a retrospective cohort of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals and rigorously matched controls based on demographic and clinical characteristics, examining 63 common laboratory biomarkers.
