Long COVID Interdisciplinary Approach

Learning Hospital supports approach to interdisciplinary treatment of Long COVID. 

The targeted working paper is based on evaluating following WHO publication:

“Clinical case definition of post COVID-19 condition by a Delphi consensus from 6th October 2021.”

Evidence before study
Most patients who suffer from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) fully recover, but some
remain with long-term effects on several body systems, including pulmonary, cardiovascular and
nervous systems, as well as psychological effects. These effects appear to occur irrespective of
the initial severity of infection, but occur more frequently in women, middle age, and in those with
more symptoms initially/ The absence of both a single terminology and a clinical case definition
have been repeatedly signalled as drawbacks to advance on research and management of these
patients.
