Abstract

In Reply We thank Murdoch et al for their interest in our pediatric post–COVID-19 condition (PCC) research.1 Contrary to their suggestion, we believe our work is consistent with the referenced 20222 and 20233 World Health Organization (WHO) definitions of PCC.

Discussions

• JAMA Peds also allowed the authors to retroactively invent a more convenient definition of PCC, and completely ignore the fact that the original claim was unambiguously "met the WHO PCC definition". [bsky, 79 points, 1 comments]
