All the 3 clusters share Headache, Myalgia, Sore throat as common symptoms based on Tandem clustering analysis. 87,253 (56%) belonged to the common cluster and was reported the most frequent cluster. Symptomatic cases (20%) were more in contact with COVID-19 cases than presymptomatic (9%). Common cluster was represented in Blue in the Panel B of given Symptomatic profiling graph link.

A case study in Mexico, of a SARS-CoV-2 positive patient with an acute episode of pychosis as the only symptom. Lab results revealed Hypokalemia K 3.3, elevation of hepatic enzymes -aspartate aminotransferase 53U/L, alanine aminotransferase 69U/L, indirect hyperbilirubinemia and elevated ferritin levels (595ng/mL).

The study involves the development of a clinical prediction rule to use with a point-of-care test in order to diagnose COVID-19 in symptomatic outpatients. When the significant symptoms, phenotypes and risk factors were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression; the resulting model found the phenotypes of loss of smell or taste (olfactory phenotype), fever and cough (febrile respiratory phenotype), and wheeze and chest tightness (reactive airways phenotype) to independently contribute to diagnostic prediction:

The study is aimed at developing a clinical decision-making algorithm by analysing symptom frequency and its severity for better testing prioritization in COVID-19 outpatients. Participants were recruited, via social media and traditional media exposure, from across the United States, and data were collected through self-reported online surveys. These surveys were emailed using the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) system, and data were stored on the University of Minnesota secure REDCap database.
