From 15th July to 18th September, 2020, in a first uncontrolled cohort study (Multi-Expertise Consultation of Bicêtre After Covid-19, COMEBAC), we evaluated at four months the surviving patients who were hospitalized at the Bicêtre hospital for COVID-19 during the 1st wave of the epidemic in France and having survived this hospitalization. This cohort included 478 patients. The article resulting from the analysis of the data collected is accepted for publication in JAMA.
This evaluation, the aim of which was both clinical and scientific, was carried out largely thanks to human and material resources then demobilized because of the epidemic and thanks to the investment of doctors and psychologists who carried out the work in addition to their usual work.
The response to the current call for projects aims to bring together the means to continue this monitoring work during the 2nd epidemic wave, while the means and staff are this time completely mobilized by the care of patients with COVID-19 and other. It also aims to raise funds that will allow an in-depth analysis of the residual symptoms presented by the patients.
The current project aims to continue the work started with the COMEBAC "1st wave" cohort with:
* The inclusion of patients hospitalized after the 1st wave.
* An assessment of symptoms according to the SARS-CoV-2 variant.
* A 12-month follow-up of symptomatic patients during the evaluation in COMEBAC "1st wave".
