Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Current primary outcome measure as of 18/11/2021: 1. Incidence of long-term sequelae of COVID-19 measured using multiple methods including: 1.1. Symptoms and quality of life measured using one or more of the following questionnaires: EQ-5D, Dyspnoea-12, Fatigue (FACIT), Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), MRC dyspnoea score, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Clinical Frailty Scale 1.2. Mental health: symptoms of anxiety assessed using Generalised Anxiety Disorder Assessment (GAD-7), depression assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) checklist (PCL-5) 1.3. Physical function measured using one or more the following tests: Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT), muscle strength tests (handgrip strength), physical activity monitoring 1.4. Biological samples taken e.g blood, urine, sputum, saliva, breath 1.5. Any imaging as part of clinical care Measured at 6 weeks - 7.5 months and 12 months post-hospital discharge (and at regular timepoints thereafter for up to 25 years) Please note that not all participants will be asked to complete or perform all of the above questionnaires and tests. Data from routine clinical investigations and tests will be recorded. 2. Healthcare utilisation measured using questionnaires and linkage to health and social care records at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post-hospital discharge (and at regular timepoints thereafter for up to 25 years) 3. Mortality measured using ONS data at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post-hospital discharge (and at regular timepoints thereafter for up to 25 years) _____ Previous primary outcome measure: 1. Incidence of long-term sequelae of COVID-19 measured using multiple methods including: 1.1.
