Recent data suggests that survivors of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or (COVID-19) report adverse health status, including neurological and cognitive deficits and impaired pulmonary function, even months after discharge. Adult COVID-19 survivors after ICU stay, who are noted to have increased mortality and organ failure, are at higher risk of long-term disabilities and impaired quality of life. This study is one branch of a multi-site study coordinated by Gilead Sciences, in which participants who were critically ill with COVID-19 will be followed at three and nine months after discharge to test pulmonary function, cognitive function, and quality of life.
The Investigator seeks to evaluate the long term neurological and pulmonary sequelae of COVID-19.
