Description

Theresa Ms Burkard leads a 2026 network study of autoimmune and inflammatory illness after COVID-19 across nine countries. Records come from primary care, hospitals, registries and claims in Europe, the United States and Korea. Follow-up starts on day 91 after infection or a negative test, placing the focus on the post-acute period.

Conditions tracked include POTS, chronic fatigue syndrome conditions, multi-inflammatory syndrome and diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Patients are followed for up to a year, until an outcome, death or a new infection ends their record. A separate reinfection group shows whether a second infection changes risk. The design uses shared definitions so results can be compared across databases.
