More than 660 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported worldwide, with 183 million cases in the EU alone. In several people, after recovery, the effects of the first waves of COVID-19 persisted beyond the acute phase and increased the risk of chronic multiorgan symptoms and disease. Up to 70% of people affected by COVID-19 showed reduced organ function even four months or more after COVID-19 diagnosis. Such a functional decline is associated with an increased risk of the development of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Thus, there is an essential need for a better knowledge, tools, clinical guidelines and recommendations that it will make it possible to reduce this overrepresentation of NCDs as a consequence of the post-acute phase (PAP) of COVID-19. The overall concept underpinning "POINT" is to i) build detailed knowledge on the link between the PAP of COVID-19 caused by previous, current, and future SARS-CoV-2 variants in vaccinated and unvaccinated people, and NCDs, ii) identify robust biomarkers and build predictive tools that help early identification and management of risk of NCDs, and iii) develop guidelines and recommendations for all parts of the healthcare value chain, allowing best prevention and care acknowledging vulnerability. The investigators will focus on the NCDs affecting pulmonary, cardiovascular and renal systems.
