Long-haul COVID

STUDY BASICS

Were you previously diagnosed with COVID-19, and have interest in research? Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are conducting a research study that will enroll patients with and without persistent symptoms after COVID-19. This is a registry study or registry bank. The goal of this study is to help us understand the symptoms that patients get and what may be causing them.

STUDY PURPOSE

The goal of this study is to help us understand the symptoms that patients get and what may be causing them.  This is a registry study or registry bank. This research study plans to enroll patients with or without post COVID symptoms.  Patients with persistent symptoms have been called COVID-19 ‘Long-haulers’. What causes these long-term symptoms is not known. This study will establish a database and biorepository from patients who recover from COVID-19 with and without persistent symptoms. The data and samples from this study may help the investigators to better understand the causes of these symptoms, who gets these symptoms, how long they last, and may suggest possible treatments in the future.
