Patients suffering from COVID-19 experience a wide range of symptoms and sequelae, including increasingly recognized neurological problems. A concerted effort is necessary to identify and characterize these issues, whether newly appearing as a result of COVID-19 disease or exacerbations of underlying conditions. A national resource to collect information and/or biospecimens regarding neurological complications of COVID-19 offers an opportunity for broad representation, harmonization, and rapid learning, all while ensuring robust protection of confidential information through the use of global unique identifiers to protect patient privacy.
新冠肺炎患者会出现各种各样的症状和后遗症,包括越来越多被认识到的神经问题。无论是作为新冠肺炎疾病新出现的问题,还是潜在疾病的加重,都需要共同努力来识别和描述这些问题。一个收集有关新冠肺炎神经并发症信息和/或生物样本的国家资源,提供了广泛代表性、协调和快速学习的机会,同时通过使用全球唯一标识符来保护患者隐私,确保对机密信息的有力保护。
