Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Exploratory research into possible variables in CPET and pulmonary function tests that are abnormal after suffering from COVID-19. Therefore it is not possible to define 1 primary outcome measure.
Secondary outcome
none
Background summary
Background: There is a lack of knowledge about the recovery and possible detrimental long-term effects after COVID-19. Current clinical practice shows that some patients experience persistent symptoms after suffering from COVID-19. With this study we want to get more insight in the causes and mechanisms of these symptoms using pulmonary function tests and a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET).
Question: What are the pulmonary and fitness characteristics of patients who have persistent symptoms of dyspnea and / or reduced exercise capacity after suffering from COVID-19?
Design: Prospective observational study.
Method: Patients who are approached for participation in this study: (1) have had COVID-19, (2) have persistent symptoms of dyspnea (in rest and/or during exercise) and (3) are referred to the department of pulmonology or sports medicine in the OLVG hospital. The clinical work-up is up to the treating doctor. For this study we collect data of pulmonary function tests (including diffusion capacity), cardiopulmonary exercise tests and chest X-rays. Follow-up is planned about 9-12 months after the first visit.
Study objective
We did not have a hypothesis because this is a new disease and the approach of the study is more explorative.
Study design
baseline and follow-up after 9-12 months
Intervention
none
