Brief Summary

From July to September 2020, in a first uncontrolled cohort study, 478 patients who were hospitalized at Bicêtre hospital for COVID-19 and who survived were evaluated at 4 months (publication accepted at JAMA). The current project aims to bring together the means to continue this work during the 2nd epidemic wave.

Detailed Description

From 15th July to 18th September, 2020, in a first uncontrolled cohort study (Multi-Expertise Consultation of Bicêtre After Covid-19, COMEBAC), we evaluated at four months the surviving patients who were hospitalized at the Bicêtre hospital for COVID-19 during the 1st wave of the epidemic in France and having survived this hospitalization. This cohort included 478 patients. The article resulting from the analysis of the data collected is accepted for publication in JAMA.

This evaluation, the aim of which was both clinical and scientific, was carried out largely thanks to human and material resources then demobilized because of the epidemic and thanks to the investment of doctors and psychologists who carried out the work in addition to their usual work.

The response to the current call for projects aims to bring together the means to continue this monitoring work during the 2nd epidemic wave, while the means and staff are this time completely mobilized by the care of patients with COVID-19 and other. It also aims to raise funds that will allow an in-depth analysis of the residual symptoms presented by the patients.

The current project aims to continue the work started with the COMEBAC "1st wave" cohort with:

* The inclusion of patients hospitalized after the 1st wave.

* An assessment of symptoms according to the SARS-CoV-2 variant.

* A 12-month follow-up of symptomatic patients during the evaluation in COMEBAC "1st wave".

Patients from the 1st epidemic waveOutpatient clinicOne year after their discharge from the initial hospitalization, patients who presented symptoms during the evaluation in COMEBAC "1st wave" in summer 2020 will benefit from a telephone assessment on the same schedule as that detailed above. If symptoms persist, they will be called to the day hospital for an assessment similar to the one detailed above.

Patients from the 2nd epidemic waveTeleconsultationAs during the evaluation carried out during the 1st wave, the detection of persistent symptoms will be done in two stages: * During a teleconsultation, to which all eligible patients will be invited, systematically looking for general, neurological, cognitive and respiratory symptoms * During a hospitalization in an outpatient clinic to which all survivors who have stayed in an intensive care unit (ICU) will be invited and, among patients who have not stayed in an ICU, those who have residual symptoms detected during the teleconsultation.
