Confusion: when the term "long term complication" is used, does it mean, a complication that lasts for many months or years?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The term is variable in its meaning. Long term complications may arise weeks/months or years later. To apply this to any situation requires knowledge of the case under consideration.

Most times that is the meaning, some other times reflects delayed complications noted weeks or months after acute event.
