What this trial studies

The EuCARE-POSTCOVID study is an observational multicenter initiative that enrolls patients who have recovered from the acute phase of COVID-19 to explore the prevalence and predictors of post COVID-19 condition. This study will utilize both retrospective data from existing post COVID-19 outpatient services and a prospective cohort approach. A multidisciplinary team, including clinicians and epidemiologists, will analyze the clinical course and long-term outcomes of COVID-19 patients, focusing on the persistence of symptoms that may arise after recovery. The study aims to provide insights into the impact of different viral variants and the effectiveness of various containment strategies.
