Detailed Description
This study is designed to allow immunosuppressed children, their parents or adult patients to self-record their experiences of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses. Patients, parents and of immunosuppressed patients and patients aged 16-17 yrs will be provided with online information and asked to fill in online questionnaires at baseline and weekly thereafter. Information collected includes medication, symptoms, contact with health care providers, test results and impact on daily activities. Data will be collected and analysed weekly to be able to monitor any potential risk factors for severe disease. This study is complementary to, and not overlapping with, the global ISARIC World Health Organisation protocol that will be studying COVID-19 cases admitted to all National Health Service (NHS) Trusts, including all children.
