BACKGROUND: SARS-CoV-2 has swept across the globe, causing millions of deaths worldwide. Though most survive, many experience symptoms of COVID-19 for months after acute infection. Successful prevention and treatment of acute COVID-19 infection and its associated sequelae is dependent on in-depth knowledge of viral pathology across the spectrum of patient phenotypes and physiologic responses. Longitudinal biobanking provides a valuable resource of clinically integrated, easily accessed, and quality-controlled samples for researchers to study differential multi-organ system responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection, post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), and vaccination. METHODS: Adults with a history of a positive SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal PCR are actively recruited from the community or hospital settings to enroll in the Northern Colorado SARS-CoV-2 Biorepository (NoCo-COBIO). Blood, saliva, stool, nasopharyngeal specimens, and extensive clinical and demographic data are collected at 4 time points over 6 months. Patients are assessed for PASC during longitudinal follow-up by physician led symptom questionnaires and physical exams. This clinical trial registration is NCT04603677 . RESULTS: We have enrolled and collected samples from 119 adults since July 2020, with 66% follow-up rate. Forty-nine percent of participants assessed with a symptom surveillance questionnaire (N = 37 of 75) had PASC at any time during follow-up (up to 8 months post infection). Ninety-three percent of hospitalized participants developed PASC, while 23% of those not requiring hospitalization developed PASC. At 90-174 days post SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, 67% of all participants had persistent symptoms (N = 37 of 55), and 85% percent of participants who required hospitalization during initial infection (N = 20) still had symptoms. The most common symptoms reported after 15 days of infection were fatigue, loss of smell, loss of taste, exercise intolerance, and cognitive dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS: Patients who were hospitalized for COVID-19 were significantly more likely to have PASC than those not requiring hospitalization, however 23% of patients who were not hospitalized also developed PASC. This patient-matched, multi-matrix, longitudinal biorepository from COVID-19 survivors with and without PASC will allow for current and future research to better understand the pathophysiology of disease and to identify targeted interventions to reduce risk for PASC.

背景:SARS-CoV-2 在全球范围内肆虐,导致全球数百万人死亡。尽管大多数人幸存下来,但许多人在急性感染后数月仍会出现 COVID-19 的症状。成功预防和治疗急性 COVID-19 感染及其相关后遗症取决于对病毒病理学的深入了解,包括患者表型和生理反应的各个方面。纵向生物库为研究人员提供了有价值的资源,这些资源包括临床整合、易于访问和质量控制的样本,用于研究 SARS-CoV-2 感染、COVID-19 后急性后遗症 (PASC) 和疫苗接种后多器官系统的差异反应。
方法:从社区或医院环境中积极招募有 SARS-CoV-2 鼻咽 PCR 阳性史的成年人,参加北科罗拉多 SARS-CoV-2 生物库(NoCo-COBIO)。在 6 个月内的 4 个时间点采集血液、唾液、粪便、鼻咽标本以及广泛的临床和人口统计学数据。在纵向随访期间,通过医生主导的症状问卷和体格检查评估患者的 PASC。本临床试验注册于 2020 年 7 月,注册号为 NCT04603677。
结果:自 2020 年 7 月以来,我们共招募并采集了 119 名成年人的样本,随访率为 66%。在接受症状监测问卷调查的 75 名参与者中(N=37),有 49%的人在随访期间的任何时间(感染后长达 8 个月)出现 PASC。93%的住院患者出现 PASC,而 23%的非住院患者出现 PASC。在 SARS-CoV-2 诊断后 90-174 天,所有参与者中有 67%(N=55)仍有持续症状,而在初次感染期间需要住院的参与者中(N=20),仍有 85%的人有症状。感染后 15 天报告的最常见症状为疲劳、嗅觉丧失、味觉丧失、运动不耐受和认知功能障碍。
结论:与未住院的患者相比,因 COVID-19 住院的患者发生 PASC 的可能性明显更高,但仍有 23%未住院的患者发生 PASC。本研究来自 COVID-19 幸存者和非幸存者,具有患者匹配、多矩阵、纵向生物库,将允许当前和未来的研究更好地了解疾病的病理生理学,并确定针对 PASC 的靶向干预措施。于 2020 年 10 月 27 日注册——回顾性注册,https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04603677。
