OVER-COVID: Recovering From COVID
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Following the success of pilot data trialling a virtual community-based remote monitoring model, using Bluetooth enabled pulse oximeters, which demonstrated a saving of 300 bed spaces over a three week period,9 a nationwide expansion is set to be implemented through NHS Digital. Participants who were on the virtual wards approximately 12 weeks after their admission and those referred to long-COVID outpatient clinics will be approached.
There is a particular lack of understanding as to whether post-COVID syndrome constitutes a singular disease process. It has been suggested that the post-COVID syndrome may be characterised into either an acute or chronic subtype, depending on whether symptoms extend beyond 12 weeks following initial diagnosis.7,10 However, it is not currently understood as to whether chronic post-COVID is either an extension of acute post-COVID or is a separate disease subtype that carries a distinct risk profile.
However, there remains a paucity in the literature depicting the recovery experience, risk factors for the development of post-COVID syndrome, management strategies, and qualitative experiences. This study aims to address these gaps
