Using a systematic chart review, children with confirmed long COVID were identified by clinician adjudication between March 2020 and December 2022. Outcomes were compared to children with COVID-19 infection without confirmed long COVID. Functional impairments included difficulty participating in school and extracurricular activities, new referrals to rehabilitative therapies, newly modified education plans, and new or worsening mental health symptoms. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to evaluate these outcomes among children with and without long COVID.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 686 children with completed chart review, 651 (95%) had a COVID-19 diagnosis. Functional impairment was documented in 139 (21%) children, of which 59 had clinician-adjudicated long COVID.
