Clinical Trial Summary

This study is to evaluate of the accuracy of biomarkers (i.e. circulating endothelial and immune activation markers) that indicate progression to severe disease in patients with suspected COVID-19 in the Emergency Department. It is a prospective observational study of patients presenting to emergency departments with a clinical suspicion of COVID19. All participants will have plasma samples collected for biomarker analysis, and will be tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection with a nasopharyngeal swab. Participants will be managed according to the best local practices.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Predictive Accuracy of Biomarkers for Risk Stratification	Given the expected clinical utility, we will use likelihood ratios (LRs) as our target milestone.; +LR = (test sensitivity)/(1-test specificity); -LR= (1- sensitivity)/specificity.; We will conservatively target benchmarks of +LR>5 for a disposition towards and a -LR<0.1 for a disposition away from mortality risk.	28 days
Secondary	Performance of Biomarkers as Indicators of Clinical Severity: Disposition post-ED visit (admitted vs discharged home vs discharged home and readmitted)		28 days
Secondary	Performance of Biomarkers as Indicators of Clinical Severity: Hospital and ICU length of stay		28 days
Secondary	Performance of Biomarkers as Indicators of Clinical Severity: Need for artificial respiratory support or hemodynamic support (mechanical ventilation, ECLS)		28 days
