| Abstract: | Background and Objective: At least 10% of COVID-19 recovered individuals experience persistent symptoms (Long COVID), with primary health care and general practitioners (GPs) at forefront in their care. In this study, GPs’ knowledge, perception and experience on Long COVID, and the definition used across two countries are investigated to provide insight in their care at cross-country level. Methods: A cross-sectional study targeting GPs was conducted in Belgium and Malta during mid-2022. An online survey on Long COVID was disseminated. Country-specific practice and demographic characteristics were collected. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were performed. |
