Wissenschaftliche Literatursammlung und -empfehlungen für Forschende und Behandelnde
Weltweit werden wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zu Long COVID durchgeführt. Entsprechend ist die Zahl an Publikationen zu diesem Thema sehr hoch. Die Untersuchungen und ihre Ergebnisse sind dabei von unterschiedlicher Relevanz, Aussagekraft und Qualität. Es kann deswegen schwierig sein, einschlägige Publikationen zu finden. Aus diesem Grund stellt uns in dieser Rubrik das Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) seine Literatursammlung bereit und international renommierte Forschende geben ihre Literaturempfehlungen.
Die Liste umfasst vor allem englischsprachige, wissenschaftliche Publikationen, die in internationalen Fachzeitschriften veröffentlicht wurden. Doch auch einige ausgewählte deutschsprachige Fachartikel sind darunter. Die Liste erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Das RKI sowie unsere internationalen Expertinnen und Experten haben die Publikationen nach ihren jeweiligen Maßstäben ausgewählt. Zur besseren Übersicht wurden die Publikationen in Kategorien eingeordnet, auch wenn sie teilweise auch andere Themengebiete behandeln.
Zudem stellt das RKI jeden Monat eine Sammlung von neu erschienenen Publikationen zu den Themenbereichen Epidemiologie und Public Health bereit (in alphabetischer Reihenfolge).
