Filter by:This study aims to find out whether the use of angiotensin II, which is a drug to raise blood pressure has been approved by European Medical Agency in August 2019, as an add-on medication to increase blood pressure in patients with COVID-19, acute severe lung injury, inflammation and severe shock, compared with standard medication. In addition, the investigators will collect the data of Anakinra, another drug which is frequently used in this condition to reduce inflammation. The investigators will collect clinical data and outcomes from critical care patients. The investigators will analyse for whom these drugs are most beneficial and explore whether there are any patients who don't benefit or have side effects.
This research aims to investigate the role of daily measurement of urinary cell cycle arrest markers and other serum and urinary biomarkers to predict the development of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients with COVID-19 and acute respiratory disease.
This is a multicenter, Phase 2 study, to assess the efficacy of the treatment with convalescent plasma in patients with severe COVID-19 infection.
The current situation of Sars-Cov-2 pandemic generates fears in the general population. Among patients receiving long-term immunomodulatory drugs, especially in the context of auto-immune diseases, there may be legitimates interrogations about the appropriateness of continuing treatment, without modification, in the current context. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis is concerns by these fears (the patient and their parents). Patients are treated by several classes of immunomodulatory drugs, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids and disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. The present study will characterize this issue by defining the proportion of patients whose usual treatment of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis has been modified in relation to the actual sanitary crisis, and also to return to school.
The Covid-19 viral pandemic has caused significant global losses and disruption to all aspects of society. One of the major difficulties in controlling the spread of this coronavirus has been the delayed and mild (or lack of) presentation of symptoms in infected individuals, and the insufficient Covid-19 testing capacity in the UK. This warrants the development of alternative diagnostic tools that reliably assess Covid-19 infection in the early stages of infection, while also being low- cost, low-burden, and easily administered to a wide proportion of the population. This study aims to validate machine learning models as a diagnostic tool that predicts infection with SARS-CoV-2 based on app-reported symptoms and phenotypic data, against the 'gold-standard' swab PCR-test. This study will take place within the Covid Symptom Study app, the free symptom tracking mobile application launched in March 2020.
This study examines the seroprevalence against SARS-CoV-2 in health care workers and patients at the Vienna General Hospital.
COVID 19 is a novel and severe disease. One of the problems is that the virus disturbs the lungs and cause water accumulation in lungs alveolus (ARDS). Today, a chest X-ray is the only practical way to check the degree of lung accumulation. However, X-Ray has many limitations and disadvantages. Lung impedance technology allows simple lung fluid monitoring, and found to be effective in HF patients who suffer from a similar problem. The study's aim is to establish a correlation between lung fluid assessed by impedance technique and x-ray examinations. To find a correlation between lung fluid assessment by impedance and clinical parameters of COVID 19 patients.
The current project is a prospective, multicentric cohort study aiming at a multidisciplinary assessment (pulmonary, cardiometabolic, sleep and mental health) of the consequences of infection by SARS-CoV-2, 3 months after the diagnosis in order to better characterize these complications. 400 patients with a positive diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 will be included in the study 3 months after their diagnosis: They will be followed at 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, as function of their after-effects discovered at 3 months and their evolution.
A novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) infection leading to pneumonia and severe acute respiratory failure [acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)] and death is a global threat. On 11/03/2020, WHO declared the Covid-19 outbreak a global pandemic. As of 18th of March, there are 202,309 confirmed cases with 8,013 deaths. Patients with severe illness may develop dyspnoea and hypoxemia within 1week after onset, which may quickly progress to ARDS or end-organ failure 1. Based on Chinese data abnormal coagulation parameters (Prolonged Prothrombin time [PT] and raised D dimer) are reported to predict a poor prognosis and may therefore be important therapeutic targets. The number of patients with infected with COVID- 19 in UK is rapidly rising as with many other European countries. Eventually >50% of people will have become infected and COVID-19 will remain a public health threat in the long term. It is therefore very important to understand every aspect of this disease, including the associated coagulopathy leading bleeding, blood clots (thrombosis) and death. Emerging data from Europe and some centres in UK, indicates that venous thromboembolism (VTE), mainly pulmonary embolism (PE), is major problem in COVID patients. In this retrospective-prospective: multicentre study, investigators will document the patient characteristics, presenting haematological parameters and associated comorbidities and their association with bleeding, thrombosis and mortality in patients admitted for hospital treatment. Determining the predictive value of patient characteristics and presenting laboratory measurements for clinical outcomes in these patients will allow us to optimise management of these patients in the future. Furthermore, by comparing these data with data from patients without Covid-19, investigators will be able to modify existing protocols and tailor them to the management of COVID -19.
Richmond Research Institute (RRI) is applying existing and new COVID-19 PCR and antibody tests to help develop methodologies which provide fast and accurate results. Infection with coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is currently a worldwide pandemic and reliable testing for COVID-19 is crucial to understand who is infected and therefore a risk to others by spreading the infection. RRI are currently carrying out the following tests: A. Using a membrane-based immunoassay to detect IgG and IgM antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in whole blood, serum or plasma specimens helps to assess whether an individual has previously had the virus and is potentially immune B. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing using an established method to check for active SARS-CoV-2 infections. C. Quantification of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies in whole blood samples. The above tests are being used by RRI to follow infections (PCR) and immunity (IgG) in their workforce, as well as their families (including children) and visitors to their site. Collecting this data allows the gathering of epidemiological data on SARS-CoV-2 including incidence, prevalence, information on asymptomatic carriers and efficacy of vaccination. Furthermore, identifying individuals that are infected with SARS-CoV-2 has great potential to improve health outcomes by allowing infected individuals to seek the correct medical treatment as well as self-isolate and reduce transmission.
