Filter by:The main objective of this multicenter cohort study is to determine the degree of COVID19 infection immunization of a population of psychiatric patients. The secondary objective of this cohort follow-up is to: 1. Clinically characterize COVID patients who are positive for serological testing 2. Assess the socio-demographic, clinical and psychotropic determinants of a COVID diagnosis 3. Immunologically characterize COVID patients who are positive for serological testing 4. Exploring the links between susceptibility to COVID19 and erythrocytic blood groups
Randomized open label clinical trial carried out at study centers in Sweden, including Karolinska University Hospital, S:t Göran Hospital, Danderyd Hospital and Västmanlands Hospital. Patients with COVID-19 who are hospitalized with oxygen therapy are eligible for inclusion. Subjects are randomized to 14 days of inhalation with ciclesonide 360 µg twice daily or to standard of care. Primary outcome is duration of received supplemental oxygen therapy. Key secondary outcome is a composite outcome of death and received invasive mechanical ventilation within 30 days.
In this study, critically ill patients with highly suspected or confirmed COVID-19 will be included. Main goal is the identification of noncoding RNAs in COVID-19 associated organ dysfunction with an emphasis on acute kidney injury.
COVID-19 DISEASE Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory tract infection caused by a newly emergent coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome from COVID-19, that was first recognized in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. While most people with COVID-19 develop mild or uncomplicated illness, approximately 14% develop severe disease requiring hospitalization and oxygen support and 5% require admission to an intensive care unit. In severe cases, COVID-19 can be complicated by acute respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS) requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation, sepsis and septic shock, multiorgan failure, including acute kidney, liver and cardiac injury. ARDS REHABILITATION Critically ill people who undergo prolonged mechanical ventilation often develop weakness, with severe symmetrical weakness of and deconditioning of the proximal musculature and of the respiratory muscles (critical illness neuropathy/myopathy).These individuals also develop significant functional impairment and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQL) up to 2 and 5 years after discharge. ARDS survivors may complain of depression, anxiety, memory disturbances, and difficulty with concentration often unchanged at 2 and 5 years. Less than half of all ARDS survivors return to work within the first year following discharge, two-thirds at two years, and more than 70% at five years. Early physiotherapy (PT) of people with ARDS has recently been suggested as a complementary therapeutic tool to improve early and late outcomes. The aims of PT programs should be to reduce complications of immobilization and ventilator-dependency, to improve residual function, to prevent new hospitalisations, and to improve health status and HRQL. Physiotherapy in critical patients is claimed also to prevent and contribute to treat respiratory complications such as secretion retention, atelectasis, and pneumonia. Early mobilization and maintenance of muscle strength may reduce the risk of difficult weaning, limited mobility, and ventilator dependency. Lastly, pulmonary rehabilitation in ICU in mechanically ventilated subjects may reduce length of stay in ICU up to 4.5 day, shorten mechanical ventilation of 2.3 days and weaning by 1.7 days. The aim of this study is to investigate how early pulmonary and motor rehabilitation impacts on length of hospital admission (ICU and acute ward) and early and late outcomes inpatients that develop ARDS due to COVID-19.
This study propose to describe risk factors for acute and long term mortality of COVID 19 in patients up to 70 years old.
A majority (65-85%) of critically ill patients admitted in intensive care units with a confirmed diagnostic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) developed an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) according to BERLIN criteria. Gattinoni et al. recently described that the ARDS related to SARS-CoV-2 was not a "Typical" ARDS. Patients affected by this infection present indeed a major hypoxemia, which was surprisingly associated in early phase with a high compliance of respiratory system, more than 50 ml/cm H2O in most cases. The cornerstone of current treatment in case of ARDS is the use of "lung protective" ventilation, including limited tidal volumes (VT), low end-inspiratory plateau pressures while maintaining sufficiently-high positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEP). However, high levels of PEEP in patients may have detrimental effects on hemodynamic status and fluid retention, particularly when the respiratory system compliance is normal. High PEEP may also lead to overdistension and an increase of alveolar dead space. The airway pressures commonly monitored does not reliably reflect the impact of pressures on the lung parenchyma. Elastance of chest wall may indeed largely influence values of airways pressions. In contrast, transpulmonary pressure obtained using esophageal pressure (Pes) directly reflect lung overdistension risk and lung properties. In order to better understand this new kind of ARDS characterized by modest recruitable profile and to better personalize mechanical ventilation setting and therapy it is obvious to precise transpulmonary pressure.
This prospective observational study examines the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on oral health, taking psychosocial factors into account, and the possible impact of a high periodontitis risk on the severity of the need for treatment in Covid-19 patients.
In this study, the investigators propose to administer clazakizumab to patients with life-threatening Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection manifest by pulmonary failure and a clinical picture consistent with a cytokine storm syndrome. This is a single-center randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which 30 patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to two study arms and receive clazakizumab at a dose of 25 mg or placebo.
The purpose of this study is to develop a safe, easily scalable, and simple method to split a single ventilator for use amongst two or more patients, thus serving as a capacity bridge to save patient lives until manufacturers can produce enough ventilators.
Predi-COVID is a prospective cohort study composed of people positively tested for COVID-19 in Luxembourg, followed digitally for monitoring participants' health evolution and symptoms at home. Participants will be actively followed for 14 days from the time of confirmation of diagnosis, whether they are at the hospital or at home in isolation or quarantine. Short evaluations will be also performed at week 3 and week 4 and then monthly for a period up to 12 months to assess potential long term consequences of COVID-19. A subsample of 200 participants will be contacted to integrate complementary clinical data and collect samples. The study aims at identifying factors associated with the COVID-19 disease severity. COVID-19 patients with severity criteria will be compared to patients with mild disease managed at home. A deep phenotyping related to the symptoms of the disease as well as biosampling allowing for laboratory-based and computational analytics will be performed.
