[S1 guidelines for the management of postviral conditions using the example of post-COVID-19]
Abstract
These S1 guidelines are an updated and expanded version of the S1 guidelines on long COVID differential diagnostic and management strategies. They summarize the state of knowledge on postviral conditions like long/post COVID at the time of writing. Due to the dynamic nature of knowledge development, they are intended to be "living guidelines". The focus is on practical applicability at the level of primary care, which is understood to be the appropriate place for initial access and for primary care and treatment. The guidelines provide recommendations on the course of treatment, differential diagnostics of the most common symptoms that can result from infections like with SARS-CoV-2, treatment options, patient management and care, reintegration and rehabilitation. The guidelines have been developed through an interdisciplinary and interprofessional process and provide recommendations on interfaces and possibilities for collaboration.
Die vorliegende Leitlinie S1 ist die Aktualisierung und Weiterentwicklung der Leitlinie S1 Long COVID: Differenzialdiagnostik und Behandlungsstrategien. Sie fasst den Stand der Kenntnis zu postviralen Zuständen anhand des Beispiels Long/Post COVID zum Zeitpunkt des Redaktionsschlusses zusammen. Aufgrund der starken Dynamik der Wissensentwicklung versteht sie sich als „living guideline“. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der praktischen Anwendbarkeit auf der Ebene der hausärztlichen Primärversorgung, die als geeignete Stelle für den Erstzutritt und für die primäre Betreuung und Behandlung verstanden wird. Die Leitlinie gibt Empfehlungen zum Versorgungsgang, zu Differenzialdiagnostik der häufigsten Symptome, die in der Folge einer Infektion wie mit SARS-CoV‑2 auftreten können, zu therapeutischen Optionen, zu Patient:innenführung und -betreuung sowie zur Wiedereingliederung in den Alltag und zur Rehabilitation. Entsprechend des Krankheitsbildes ist die Leitlinie in einem interdisziplinären und interprofessionellen Prozess entstanden und gibt Empfehlungen zu Schnittstellen und Kooperationsmöglichkeiten.
Keywords: Infectious diseases; Long term consequences; Long term sequelae; Persisting symptoms; Post-infectious condition.
