| The aim of this study is to establish an interdisciplinary outpatient Covid-19 monitor to improve the understanding of the physiological, clinical, psychological and social effects of Covid-19 on people in need of care or assistance in Bavaria. These persons in need of care can be understood as "index participants" of the monitor, since starting from these persons, the needs and resources of GPs, caring relatives and nursing staff in outpatient and inpatient care are also to be recorded. The monitor thus ultimately also serves the sustainable optimisation of care for those in need of care, the support of GPs, nursing staff and caring relatives during the current pandemic in Bavaria. The Bavarian outpatient Covid-19 monitor is intended to identify physical, psychological and social long-term consequences, as well as care-related supply needs and needs of service providers. This should create a basis for optimising current care for all those affected and contribute to the development and implementation of long-term prevention and aftercare strategies. The monitoring should serve as an empirical data basis for a practicable, efficient and patient-oriented pandemic management for a particularly vulnerable population group. It should enable the derivation of evidence-based recommendations for action. Study objectives: a) Recording of clinical factors in patients in need of care or assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic Clinical factors such as serostatus, medication, comorbidities, BMI and vaccination status will be examined in the monitor. A brief physical examination with measurement of vital signs is performed by the family doctor or study nurse. In addition, the use of health care, symptoms, complications and diagnoses are used to characterise the course of the disease and stratify the included patients. b) Assessment of psychosocial stress and resources among people in need of care or assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic Due to various factors (isolation, co | — |
