Brief summary
This research project aims to: a) To examine the risks of subsequent health complications (determined by ICD-10AM code) in the 12 months following COVID-19, influenza or RSV infection, compared with a control group (no recent evidence of COVID-19 or influenza infection). b) inform Queensland Health about the potential scale of post-viral impacts arising from COVID-19 or influenza, and any system-wide response that may be required. The Project Team is part of the Office of the Chief health Officer in Queensland Health, which accesses the Notifiable Conditions System. The system houses information on COVID-19, influenza and RSV-positive PCRs.
Interventions
Eligible participants are those who received a PCR-positive test result for COVID-19, influenza, or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) from 1 July 2017. Not all participants are tested for these illnesses simultaneously, meaning that COVID-19 positive cases are included if they were not also tested for influenza and RSV (and vice-versa), however these are small in number.
For patients with a record of a positive or negative via PCR test to COVID-19 in Qld's Notifiable Conditions System to 30 Jun

For patients with a record of a positive or negative via PCR test to COVID-19 in Qld's Notifiable Conditions System to 30 June 2023, they will be observed for 12 months after this test to determine whether they experience a subsequent health event demonstrated by being assigned an ICD-10 code/s (specific codes are listed in the protocol). For patients with a record of a positive via PCR test to influenza in Qld's Notifiable Conditions System to 30 June 2023, they will be observed for 12 months after this test to determine whether they experience a subsequent health event demonstrated by being assigned an ICD-10 code/s (specific codes are listed in the protocol). For patients with a record of a positive via PCR test to RSV in Qld's Notifiable Conditions System to 30 June 2023, they will be observed for 12 months after this test to determine whether they experience a subsequent health event demonstrated by being assigned an ICD-10 code/s (specific codes are listed in the protocol). As a result, there is no active participation, but rather analysis of medical records to ascertain impacts arising from exposure. This utilises the analysis of ICD-10 codes, with a full list provided in the attached study protocol.

Inclusion criteria
People who had a PCR positive test result for COVID-19, influenza, or RSV which was recorded in the QLD Health Notifiable Conditions System.
Exclusion criteria
