Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Strengths and limitations: This is a unique cohort of young Swiss, mainly male, army recruits. In contrast to other studies, we had a control group, unequivocal evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and our test battery yielded objective and quantitative scores for analyses. A major strength of our study is the specifically designed, comprehensive test battery to quantify possible multi-organ sequelae based on the results of a systematic review (11). A limitation of our study is the small proportion of female participants (5.6%) which precluded meaningful sex-based evaluation of sequelae in young women. Further research: The test battery developed here can be applied and even expanded for use in other population groups especially young women. We advocate further follow-up of this LoCoMo cohort and the initiation of other longitudinal studies to understand the trajectory of sequelae persistence beyond 1 year and focused research to clarify the pathophysiology and triggers of the identified sequelae and possibly the increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A clearer definition of Long-COVID or Post Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) is also urgently needed (27) and we suggest that this should be nuanced for different population groups.
