Research summary
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected over 13 million people worldwide with lots of illness and sadly many have died. After a hospitalization, many have been left with significant long-standing health problems relating to lung, heart, kidney, muscle and neurological health. However, a large majority of people who were diagnosed with COVID-19 did not require hospitalization, with many still suffering from poor health for which the long-term effects are unknown.
Whilst other studies are focussing on the needs of COVID-19 survivors who were hospitalized, there is an unmet need to address the healthcare requirements in those individuals who did not require a hospitalization. This study will recruit those who have not been hospitalized for COVID-19 but have been referred into a post-COVID-19 clinic due to COVID-related problems.
The main objective of this research is to understand the presentation of people who have had COVID-19 and have persisting symptoms. We also plan to create a research register of up to 500 patients to approach for future studies. This will be done by recruiting people who have had COVID-19 and been referred into a Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust clinic for a review with follow-up of records for up to 10 years post-clinic.REC name
