INSPIRE

Innovative Support For Patients with SARS COV-2 Infections Registry

Project Summary:

The INSPIRE study is a multi-institutional, longitudinal cohort study that focuses on the association of age and other vulnerabilities with clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes in people infected with the coronavirus illness (COVID-19) as well as a concurrent control group who were under investigation but tested negative. This study is designed to expand the knowledge base related to this infection, and produce results that: are expected to be applicable to a larger population beyond the site of data collection or the specific subjects studied.

Population:

Adults, age 18 or older, who have experienced symptoms of COVID-19 and have been tested within the last 4 weeks. Enrollment will take place from two populations: seeking testing but having a negative result and testing positive, across outpatient (including ED) and inpatient (including ICU). A total of 4800 subjects will be enrolled with 3600 active and 1200 controls.

Outcomes:

Patient-reported outcomes include self-reported health function and status, as well as clinical outcomes including health system encounters and new diagnoses.

Enrollment:

3,830 total enrolled as of 2/17/22
