From: Coding long COVID: characterizing a new disease through an ICD-10 lens

Fig. 2

Age-stratified clusters of co-occurring diagnoses among patients with a U09.9 code. When the Louvain algorithm is applied to the top 30 most frequent pairs of co-occurring diagnoses for U09.9 patients (i.e., diagnoses co-occurring in the same patient 0 through 60 days from U09.9 diagnosis date), distinct clusters emerge. These clusters may represent rough subtypes of long COVID presentations, and differ among age groups. The size of each box within a cluster reflects the frequency of that diagnosis relative to others in the diagram. Condition names are derived from the SNOMED CT terminology, mapped from their ICD-10-CM equivalents. Similar clusters share the same color across all four diagrams. a U09.9 patients < 21 years of age. b U09.9 patients 21–45 years of age. c U09.9 patients 46–65 years of age. d U09.9 patients 66 + years of age
