USA: INSPIRE Innovative Support for Patients with Covid-19 Registry (ME/CFS outcome measure)

Post copied from
Attitudes of incoming US politicians to ME/CFS and post-Covid 19 illness

Details below.

Basically, they aim to recruit a lot of people with a positive diagnosis for SARS-COV2 and follow them for 18 months, with ME/CFS as the primary outcome. (I think that's quite a strong connection with ME/CFS.)

Brief Summary
This study will use a digital platform to longitudinally track comprehensive information including patient self-report as well as data that describe the process and outcome of care in the electronic medical record (EMR) of a large representative sample of patients under investigation for SARSCOV2. The objective is to generate knowledge rapidly using digital tools and collaborative sciences to produce real-time data, analysis, and reporting compared to more traditional approaches. An additional goal is to promote an open science approach whereby scientists, with proper approvals and in line with the permissions granted by the participants, have the opportunity to work with data in ways that protects individual privacy but promotes rapid dissemination and implementation of knowledge.

INCLUSION CRITERIA 1. Fluent in English or Spanish; 2. Age 18 and over; 3. Self-reported symptoms suggestive of acute SARSCOV2 infection; 4. Under investigation for SARSCOV2 (defined as a patient who has received any screening or diagnostic test used to detect the presence of COVID19 including any FDA approved or authorized molecular or antigen-based assay) within the last 28 days. EXCLUSION CRITERIA 1. Unable to provide informed consent; 2. Study team unable to confirm result of diagnostic test for SARSCOV2; 3. Does not have access to a hand-held device or computer that would allow for digital participation in the study; 4. Individuals who are prisoners while participating in the study.

 

18 month follow will not be long enough having read many reports of people who feel they are back to normal only to have major relapses two or even five years later . human beings have a natural tendency to overlook their own health issues i successfully deluded my self for a decade regarding cognitive issues around memory and facial recognition . so from that point of view a minimum of five years follow up would be more likely to retrieve the right results .

 

I wonder what they will do after 18 months if their findings are interesting. Will it just go in the wastebasket with all the other interesting findings?
