Table 2.

Number of long COVID diagnoses in provider panels and potential barriers for diagnosing pediatric long COVID.

Response n (%)
How many children in your patient panel have been diagnosed with long COVID?
0 65 (54%)
1–5 42 (35%)
>6 13 (11%)
Do you have patients whom you suspect have long COVID but haven't discussed this as a possibility with the patient/family?
Yes 15 (13)
No 105 (88)
Reasoning for not discussing long COVID with patients suspected to have the condition:
Clinical treatments are limited and symptom-based 13 (87)
No diagnostic test to confirm long COVID 8 (53)
No pediatric long COVID referral centers are available 5 (33)
Long COVID is similar to other post-viral syndromes 3 (20)
Diagnosis would increase anxiety in patient/family 2 (13)
I'm not convinced that long COVID is real 1 (7)
Do you know any adults with long COVID?
Yes 80 (67)
No 40 (33)
