This is a cohort study that will include Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir-ritonavir) treatment eligible for people with a positive SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test and at least one COVID-19 symptom. This study will look at the change in Post Covid Conditions measured by the number of outpatients, Emergency department, urgent care and inpatient visits before and after COVID-19 between those who did and did not receive Paxlovid. In addition, changes in frailty post-acute infection will be evaluated, in a separate analysis. It is hypothesized that individuals with COVID-19 who received Paxlovid will have a smaller post-COVID-19 increase (vs pre-COVID) in PCC healthcare utilization (i.e., cardiopulmonary) in comparison to patients with COVID-19 who did not receive Paxlovid.
