The persistent and varied nature of symptoms observed in individuals with long COVID has spurred an urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of this complex syndrome. This study delves into the heterogeneous landscape of long COVID by employing sophisticated cluster analysis techniques on a cohort of Belgian patients.
