COVIDOM: Longterm Morbidity of SARS-CoV-2 Infection and COVID-19 Disease - Consequences for Health Status and Quality of Life

Sponsor: University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein

Summary

COVID-19 is a novel disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 that primarily affects the lungs but also various other organs of the body already in early stages of the disease. Due to the multiple organ involvements in the acute phase, it is conceivable that - in a significant proportion of patients - longterm sequels in various organ systems might occur, thereby impacting the individual's health status and quality of life; and posing a relevant burden to the resources of the health care system Assessment of SARS-CoV-2-longterm morbidity and sequels on the population level: In order to identify and treat these sequels in a timely fashion and to get a sense of the prevalence of such SARS-CoV-2 sequels on the population level, it is important to collect follow-up data and to comprehensively re-examine a population-representative sample of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals. Within the COVIDOM study we will conduct deep clinical and biochemical phenotyping in population-representative samples in Germany. This will allow novel insights into disease pathogenesis and chronicity of virus infections.
