This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
This retrospective study utilized healthcare claims data to investigate the incidence, patient demographics, and concurrent diagnoses associated with long COVID in the U.S. Medicare population. Nearly 194,000 (0.6%) beneficiaries had post-COVID condition diagnoses, with higher rates among nursing home residents. Of those medically attended for COVID-19, 3-5% were diagnosed with post-COVID conditions. We observed minimal demographic differences between those with and without long COVID. When comparing diagnoses concurrent with long COVID and COVID-19, certain codes (G72 and J84) for myopathies and interstitial pulmonary diseases were disproportionately present with long COVID.
