The aim of the study was to assess, characterize, and describe the prevalence and predicting factors of patient-reported severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). ⋯ Over one-third of patients in our study had PASC. Persistent symptoms correlated with severity of disease and were significantly more common for women, for patients who had psychological symptoms (depression and/or anxiety), and for patients reporting inability to resume normal activities.
