Introduction to the Algorithm
The RECOVER project is jointly funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Emory, Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, and Kaiser Permanente of Georgia (KPGA). Over four years, the consortium brings together scientists, clinicians, patients, and caregivers to look into aspects of recovery from long-term effects of COVID. The following are on the investigative agenda of the project:
- Risk factors contributing to long COVID (Post-acute sequalae of SARS-Cov-2 infection (PASC)
- Incidence, prevalence, and long-term outcomes of long COVID
- A control population of participants who have never had COVID-19
Design
Tens of thousands of participants will be recruited from more than 200 recruiting sites around the country.
From Atlanta, close to one thousand participants will be recruited. The study will pick from the following category of patients:
- Those who have had COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic
- Patients with a recent diagnosis of COVID-19
- A control population of participants who have never had COVID-19
The investigating team will include immunologists, virologists, pharmacologists, socio-behavioral scientists, epidemiologists, data scientists, and clinical and translational researchers with expertise in large cohort studies, in conjunction with patients and
patient representatives. They Emory team will work collaboratively with others in the RECOVER consortium to tackle the multi-dimensional issues of PASC.For more information on this study click here.
