Title of project:
Characterisation, determinants, mechanisms and consequences of long COVID – providing the evidence base for health care services
Proposal summary:
Over 95% of COVID-19 (C-19) infections are not admitted to hospital. Yet debilitating physical and mental health symptoms of long COVID are reported frequently, their degree not wholly related to symptom severity. The diagnosis of long COVID itself, the categorisation into distinct syndromes with implications for identification of high risk groups, tailoring of interventions, and likelihood of recovery or adverse outcomes are poorly described. Our proposal will address these gaps, and help inform guidelines.
Impact of research:
The characterisation and recording of long COVID
