Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to establish a cohort of Kaiser Permanente Colorado (KPCO) members who have and have not had COVID-19 infection for serial antibody testing and PCR testing to:

1. Quantify antibody titers among participants over 9 months.
2. Determine the rates of asymptomatic, mild, and severe recurrent infection among participants with prior COVID-19.
3. Examine association between antibody titer levels and risk of recurrent infection using a case control analysis nested in the cohort.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, the Kaiser Permanente Colorado (KPCO) Institute for Health Research (IHR) will evaluate SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody titers over time among individuals with evidence of prior infection, and correlate antibody titers with risk of recurrent infection. The investigators will identify KPCO members who have and have not had prior infection, enroll them into a cohort study, conduct serial surveys for new COVID-19 symptoms, and facilitate serial viral and antibody testing.

All laboratory testing procedures and clinical management of participants will be conducted by KPCO operations. The research team will identify participants, obtain consent, administer surveys to assess COVID-19 symptoms, and direct patients to the appropriate testing. Health outcomes on cohort participants will be tracked with survey data on symptoms, clinical and utilization data from the KPCO electronic health record (e.g., hospitalization), and laboratory data (e.g., viral test results).

This research-operations partnership strategy will generate data to better understand the implications of positive antibody titers to this novel pathogen.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Case

Case patients were drawn from a random sample of individuals who were enrolled in KPCO's health plan had suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and a random stratified sample of the general KPCO membership with similar age, gender, race/ethnicity and co-morbidities as case group. Within the cohort, case patients had a SARS-CoV-reinfection, defined as a positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA test ≥ 90 days after the first positive RNA test.

No interventions assigned to this group

Control

Control patients were drawn from a random sample of individuals who were enrolled in KPCO's health plan had suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and a random stratified sample of the general KPCO membership with similar age, gender, race/ethnicity and co-morbidities as case group. Within the cohort, control patients had no evidence of a SARS-CoV-reinfection during the period of interest.

No interventions assigned to this group
