These can affect many organs in the body and include breathlessness, fatigue, or brain fog and are estimated to affect around 1.3 million people in the UK and more than 100 million people worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Healthcare providers and researchers need reliable ways of measuring these symptoms as they are experienced by patients to help them develop new treatments and provide the best possible care.<\/p>\n<p>A team from the University of Birmingham&#8217;s Center for Patient-Reported Outcomes Research  designed the Symptom Burden Questionnaire for Long COVID to address this challenge. Patients can use it to report symptoms and the data can be used to help identify treatments, and test whether these are safe and effective.

Being able to shape something that could record that experience more effectively is worthwhile and I hope it gives researchers and people like me taking part in future studies some valuable evidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The resulting questionnaire measures different symptoms of Long COVID and the impact of these symptoms on daily life.  It was developed with extensive patient input following regulatory guidance, meaning its scores may be used to support regulatory decisions around the approval of new therapies for Long COVID and by policymakers.<\/p>\n<p>The study was carried out in partnership with patient data <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> specialist, Aparito Ltd, and funded by the National Institute for Health Research and UK Research and Innovation.
