Figure. Rate of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, by RNAemia and clinical severity on enrollment.

Figure.

Overall, 75.0% (27/36) of initially RNAemic patients had one or more post-acute symptoms at follow-up, compared to 43.7% (52/119) of non-RNAemic patients (difference = 31.3% [95% CI: 12.8% – 49.8%], p=0.002). Conditional on severity at enrollment (mild = discharged from ED [n=42], moderate = hospitalized, requiring no more than oxygen by nasal cannula [n=105], severe = hospitalized, requiring high-flow nasal cannula or mechanical ventilation [n=8]), RNAemia on presentation was associated with significantly higher rates of PASC for presentations of moderate severity (difference = 33.1% [95% CI, 11.8% – 54.4%], p=0.005). * indicates p-value<0.05.
