Clinical Trial Summary
This is a case series of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the northeast Brazil region, in a
referenced hospital for COVID-19, during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Data will be collected
prospectively and retrospectively.
The main objective is to describe the characteristics of critically ill patients with
COVID-19 and their clinical outcomes, and to identify risk factors associated with survival,
to guide the strategy to mitigate the epidemic, both within each hospital and ICU and in
public health management.
Description:
The world's population has been recently dealing with a new infectious disease, SARS-CoV-2
epidemic, which was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The virus transmission
was rapidly spread around the globe and the World Health Organization declared it as a public
health emergency and it has been reported that SARS-CoV-2 is related to high morbidity and
mortality rates.
The total number of infected patients has risen fastly and at the end of February 2020, the
first case in Brazil was confirmed, suggesting that the SARS-CoV-2 is a pandemic situation.
The clinical aspect of SARS-CoV-2 ranges from pneumonia to critically ill cases, including
clinical treatment, mechanical ventilation, and SARS.
The acute respiratory failure of critically ill patients with COVID-19 has different aspects,
including hypoxemia of difficult treatment, associated in some cases with clotting disorders,
changes in immunity and inflammatory phenomena that pose challenges for the management of
these patients, whose mortality can be higher than expected.
The Public Health School in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil, implemented an action plan that
provides several actions against COVID-19, including a specialized hospital and crew to treat
these patients. Knowing the characteristics of critically ill patients with COVID-19 and
their clinical outcomes is extremely important to inform clinical decision-making and to
guide the strategy to mitigate the epidemic, both within each hospital and ICU and in public
health management.
