Brief description of study
This project aims to create a national cohort of COVID-19 ICU survivors, quantify the longer-term burden of COVID-19 infection and treatment on laryngeal function, voice, communication and quality of life within the cohort and identify potential intervention targets to prevent post-intubation laryngeal injuries.
Subjects will be recruited from Penn's Otorhinolaryngology clinical practices
The research study is being done to look at the effects that serious COVID-19 infection and treatment may have on someone’s voice, breathing, communication, and quality of life. This may help researchers find ways to prevent such problems in future COVID-19 patients.
Participants will be asked to complete several research procedures including but not limited to:
1. Answer questions (surveys) about your voice, communication, breathing, health, and/or quality of life at the beginning of the study, at 3 months, and at 6 months.
2. Measure your breathing and record your voice at the beginning, at 3 months, and at 6 months.
Your participation will last for about 6 months.
