Researching COVID to enhance recovery (RECOVER) tissue pathology study protocol: Rationale, objectives, and design
Troxel, AB; Bind, MC; Flotte, TJ; et. al.; RECOVER Initiative Autopsy Group, PLOS ONE
A COVID-19 infection can lead to new symptoms, or symptoms that do not go away. This condition is called Long COVID. RECOVER researchers are using tissue samples from people who died after having COVID to answer questions about Long COVID. To do this, they are studying donated samples from deceased people across the US to understand how the body changes when someone has Long COVID; what makes some people more likely to develop Long COVID, such as where a person lives and their age, race, and sex; and what happens in the body of someone who had Long COVID. This paper is important because it can show other scientists how to do their own research on Long COVID in people who have died.
