Depression and fatigue are commonly observed sequelae following viral diseases such as COVID-19. Identifying symptom constellations that differentially classify post-COVID depression may be helpful to individualize treatment strategies. Here, we investigated whether self-reported associated with the same or different constellations.

We analyzed >2000 individuals at least six months past PCR-confirmed COVID-19 disease, using elastic net regression cluster analysis. The model developed Kiel set, externally validated sets Berlin Würzburg. Our results revealed overlapping consisting difficulties daily activities, perceived health-related quality life, chronic exhaustion, unrestful sleep, impaired concentration. Confirming overlap constellations, follow-up analysis could categorize scoring high low on but not differentiate between both dimensions. presented cross-sectional, primarily questionnaire medical records rather than biometrically data.
