An observational study in Long COVID and Multiple Chronic Conditions, sponsored by University of Leicester. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-02-14.
Sponsored by University of Leicester · Observational
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the impact of long COVID on people who have multiple (two or more) pre-existing long-term conditions (such as diabetes and asthma). The main question it aims to answer is:
Participants will be asked to:
This qualitative study will involve participants taking photographs (during their usual day-to-day activities), followed by 1:1 semi-structured interviews. Participants will be adults living with multiple pre-existing long-term conditions (LTC) and long COVID or their carers/supporters.
Stage 1: Photographs Participants will be asked to take photographs of things they feel represent or symbolise the impact of long COVID on their day-to-day lives across seven days in advance of the interview.
Stage 2: Interviews Semi-structured 1:1 interviews will be held face-to-face, online or telephone (in accordance with participant preference to optimise inclusivity). The iterative interview topic guide will continue to be informed by patient and public involvement and engagement, evidence (including preceding projects of the PhD), and the participants' photographs. Photographs will be viewed during the interview with participants.
The findings of this qualitative study will be used to inform the adaptation of exercise-based rehabilitation programmes to improve health and well-being which meets the needs of individuals living with multiple pre-existing LTC and long COVID.

Participants will be individuals living with multiple (≥2) pre-existing long-term conditions and long COVID or 'post-COVID-19 condition' (in accordance with the World Health Organisation definition) or carer/supporter for someone who is; identified and recruited via University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. Participants will be living in Leicester (UK) and either able to take photographs themselves or have a carer/supporter who is able and willing to do this for them.

Experiences and perceptions of the impact of long COVID on health and well-being
Participant photographs and 1:1 semi-structured interviews will be used to explore the experiences and perceptions of purposive samples of adults living with multiple pre-existing long-term conditions and long COVID to understand their rehabilitation needs. Photovoice and photo-elicitation will be used in combination with reflexive thematic analysis to support the interpretation process and a more participant led understanding of concepts.

Start is estimated for Feb 2024; primary completion for Aug 2024, 6 months later.
Of 98 non-industry observational studies under Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 39. This study's planned 6 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 105 studies reached it within 27 months; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 39.
