March 10, 2025 updated by: PD Dr. med. Marc Kollum, Hegau-Bodensee-Klinikum Singen

Single Center Prospective Controlled Follow-up Study of COVID-19 Patients in the District Konstanz (FSC19-KN)

This is a prospective single-center study for the follow-up of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients in the district of Konstanz (LKN). As part of the coronavirus pandemic, patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection are currently being treated in the clinics of the LKN's health network at the Singen (Hegau-Bodensee Clinic) and Konstanz (Konstanz Clinic) locations. So far, there is little data on the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection. As part of this study, the disease progression of these patients will be monitored. Study objective: Prospective, controlled follow-up observation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients regarding their secondary diseases and quality of life.
