Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study tracked disability in working-age adults for up to 36 months after a COVID-19 hospitalization — based on what it found, what kinds of lasting physical or cognitive problems should I be watching for at my stage of recovery?
2The trial measured disability from both the patient's own perspective and the care provider's perspective — did those two viewpoints often disagree, and does that affect how my doctor would assess my recovery?
3Since this study is now completed, are the findings published anywhere my doctor can review, and do the results change what follow-up care or rehabilitation they'd recommend for me?
4The study focused specifically on working-age adults — do its findings apply to my situation, and what do the results suggest about the likelihood of returning to work after a hospitalization like mine?
5Given that this was an observational study tracking outcomes rather than testing a treatment, does the data it collected point toward any specific therapies or interventions my doctor thinks I should consider for long COVID disability?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
