Brief Summary

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

The goal of this observational study is to describe the symptoms that persist for more than 12 weeks after the acute episode in participants who had COVID-19, and compare the functional, socioeconomic and occupational effects with a post-COVID-19 control group without persistent symptoms after the COVID-19 acute event.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What are the characteristics of symptoms that persist for more than 12 weeks in participants who have had COVID19 in the last year?
* What are the health-related quality of life and psychosocial effects in participants with persistent symptoms of COVID-19, compared to a post-COVID-19 control group without persistent symptoms after the acute episode of COVID-19?

Detailed Description

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

Two groups of cases and one group of controls will be included. A group of cases with persistent respiratory and/or cardiovascular symptoms (cardiorespiratory cases), and another group with persistent non-cardiorespiratory symptoms.

Participants who report at least two symptoms of intensity greater than or equal to severe will be classified as non-cardiorespiratory cases.

Controls will be participants with a history of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, but without current or past persistent symptoms (ie, who resolved their symptoms during the acute episode or whose symptoms did not persist more than 4 weeks after onset).

Controls will be matched to cases by sex, age (with a margin of up to ±5 years), and time since diagnosis of the COVID-19 episode considered as the origin of post-COVID-19 symptoms in the cases (with a margin of of ±30 days).

The visit will include the application of the questionnaires for the evaluation of symptoms and quality of life associated with health, the clinical evaluation and the extraction of a blood sample.

The extraction of a blood sample will allow biochemical determinations, the complete blood count and vitamin D level to be carried out. Subsequently, an aliquot will be reserved for mechanistic evaluation (inflammatory markers, immunological and microRNA studies).
