COVID-19 Long term protocol

Long term follow-up protocol and study

The ISARIC COVID-19 follow up protocol is built on ISARIC/WHO COVID-19 clinical characterisation protocol (CCP). It assesses risk of and risk factors for long-term physical and psychosocial health consequences following COVID-19 diagnosis using a range of validated tools.

 This protocol will follow up patients with confirmed COVID-19 using standardised data collection forms.

The forms can be completed as patient self assessment via post or an online link, or via clinician/research led completion via telephone or in-clinic. It can be used to identify people for further in-clinic follow up and assessment, or in conjunction with sampling and diagnostic studies.

There are three data collection forms/surveys:

• Tier 1 Initial Freestanding follow up survey– use for any person (hospitalised or not hospitalised) at the first follow up assessment

OR

• Tier 1 Initial Follow up survey– use for a person with a Core or Rapid CRF completed during an acute hospital admission at the first assessment
• Tier 1 Ongoing survey – for additional assessment time points

These forms are available in several languages.

Sites who wish to use the forms can access them by contacting ncov@isaric.org.

Sites are responsible for ensuring that they have local ethical and regulatory approvals in place, including registaring with Euroqol.
