ClinConnect Summary

The Munich Long COVID Registry for Children, Adolescents, and Adults is a research study aimed at understanding the long-term effects of COVID-19, known as Post-COVID Condition (PCC), in people of all ages in Germany. Researchers want to gather information on how this condition affects individuals, how it develops over time, and what kind of healthcare support is needed. This data will help inform future clinical trials and improve treatment options for those dealing with Long COVID.

To participate in this study, individuals need to provide written consent, and they must have either received a COVID-19 vaccine or tested positive for the virus through a PCR or rapid antigen test. Other eligibility criteria include having specific medical codes that indicate suspected post-COVID conditions. Participants can expect to share their health information and experiences related to Long COVID, which will contribute to a better understanding of this condition and help others in the future. Please note that pregnant individuals and those with other health issues that explain their symptoms won't be eligible for this study.
