Our primary outcome was the presence or absence of particular groups of long COVID symptoms. We collapsed 28 symptoms into seven groups: cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, neurocognitive/neurologic, upper respiratory tract, psychological/social and systemic.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among 4033 HCWs with a history of COVID-19, those with long COVID (26.5%; 1067/4033) reported a higher prevalence of systemic, neurological and psychological symptoms compared with those without long COVID. Among those with long COVID, the most commonly reported symptom groups were neurocognitive/neurologic (63.4%), cardiopulmonary (40.0%) - highest among Asian HCWs at 45.6% - and systemic (54.6%), which particularly affected Black and Mixed ethnicities at 64.0% and 63.9%, respectively. In multivariable analyses, Asian HCWs had higher odds of experiencing cardiopulmonary symptoms (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.62, 95% CI 1.04-2.51, <i>p</i> = 0.032), while female HCWs were more likely to experience gastrointestinal (aOR: 3.78, 95% CI 1.14-12.45, <i>p</i> = 0.029) and neurocognitive symptoms (aOR: 1.58, 95% CI 1.10-2.28, <i>p</i> = 0.014). Compared with those in medical roles, musculoskeletal symptoms were more commonly reported by those in nursing (aOR: 2.50, 95% CI 1.32-4.72, <i>p</i> = 0.005), allied health professional (aOR: 1.82, 95% CI 1.01-3.30, <i>p</i> = 0.048) and dental roles (aOR: 3.07, 95% CI 1.31-7.17, <i>p</i> = 0.010).
