Post-COVID Respiratory Consequences
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the respiratory system in post-COVID syndrome. The main question aims to answer:
how the post-COVID syndrome alters the lung function Participants will be asked to perform lung function tests. Researchers will compare post-COVID group to matched control healthy individuals.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Post-COVID Patients with COVID-19 infections. |
Diagnostic Test: Lung function test
Spirometry to assess lung volumes, forced oscillations to measure respiratory mechanics, whole body plethysmography to assess static lung volumes and airway resistance, lung diffusion capacity measurements.
Biological: COVID infection
Verified COVID-19 infection.
|
Control Patients without earlier diagnosis of COVID-19. |
Diagnostic Test: Lung function test
Spirometry to assess lung volumes, forced oscillations to measure respiratory mechanics, whole body plethysmography to assess static lung volumes and airway resistance, lung diffusion capacity measurements.
