Overview
Longitudinal, prospective observational cohort study enrolling patients with persisting symptoms (> 12 weeks) after COVID-19 in a multidisciplinary care model.
Description
Post-COVID-19 syndrome comprises a set of persistent physical, cognitive and/or psychological symptoms that continue for more than 12 weeks after illness and are not attributable to alternative diagnoses. As these symptoms may manifest in all COVID-19 severity grades, even in patients with mild or moderate disease, there is an urgent need for resource allocation in the health care system and accompanied research proposals to understand disease phenotypes and clinical trajectories.
With this prospective multidisciplinary registry, the investigators aim to establish a clinical and researchbased system by providing optimized medical diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in a model region in Austria (Tyrol).
