ABSTRACT
Motivated by the ambiguity of operational case definitions for long COVID and the impact of the lack of a common causal language on long COVID research, in early 2023 we began developing a research framework on this post-acute infection syndrome. We used directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and Bayesian networks (BNs) to depict the hypothesised mechanisms of long COVID in an agnostic fashion. The DAGs were informed by the evolving literature and subsequently refined following elicitation workshops with domain experts. The workshops were structured online sessions guided by an experienced facilitator. The causal DAG aims to summarise the hypothesised pathobiological pathways from mild or severe COVID-19 disease to the development of pulmonary symptoms and fatigue over four different time points. The DAG was converted into a BN using qualitative parametrisation. These causal models aim to assist the identification of disease endotypes, as well as the design of randomised controlled trials and observational studies. The framework can also be extended to a range of other post-acute infection syndromes.
