Expanding our understanding of post COVID-19 condition: Webinar 2 When: Tuesday 15 June, 2021, from 13:00 to 16:00 CEST Join the webinar via Zoom: https://who-e.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_AHMkKpWcReeA9aSgCrsz0g BackgroundAfter a successful first WHO webinar held on 9 February 2021 on post COVID-19 condition, focusing on recognition and burden, WHO conducted a Delphi survey to come to a consensus on the clinical case definition of post COVID19 condition. This second WHO webinar will present the consensus clinical case definition from the global Delphi exercise, and then expand on understanding the mechanisms that may cause post COVID-19 condition, and the care models to manage it. There are at least seven mechanisms to be considered: inflammation/hyperinflammatory state; immune dysregulation/autoimmune; coagulation/vasculopathy; direct viral toxicity/viral perseverance/long-term infection; autonomic dysfunction/neurologic; endocrine/metabolic; and maladaptation of the ACE2 pathway. Likely, many interact synergically. Thus, this global meeting brings together stakeholders to advance the field in solidarity. Objectives of the meetingThe objectives of this second WHO webinar are to: Present the WHO clinical case definition of post COVID-19 condition and other global activities to advance our understanding of post COVID-19 condition.Present up-to-date research on post COVID-19 condition with a special focus on pathophysiology and care models, and other large observational studies, with presentations from public health and clinical researchers, patient representatives and key partner organizations.Convene parallel panel sessions to further explore bringing pathophysiology into our clinical understanding of post COVID-19 condition and on care models, to develop research priorities.Please find the detailed agenda here.
