Evaluation of post-acute COVID-19 health outcomes (ECHOES) in England : The development of national surveillance system for long- term health outcomes following COVID-19.

The ECHOES dataset is a large-scale study in England that combines national COVID-19 testing data with other health records, like hospital visits and mortality, to track various outcomes in people who tested positive versus those who tested negative.

This allows researchers to investigate how an initial SARS-CoV-2 infection may impact a person’s future health, accounting for factors like pre-existing conditions and vaccination status.
