NCT ID: NCT04804852 Recruiting - Sarcopenia Clinical Trials

Assessment of the Prevalence of Sarcopenia by CT Scan in Patients Diagnosed With Head & Neck Cancer

SARVADS 1
Start date: October 29, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Sarcopenia is defined by the reduction in skeletal muscle mass and physical performance. It results in a decrease in muscle strength, overall physical activity, walking and the development of balance disorders and falls. It is one of the natural consequences of aging and contributes to frailty and the appearance of geriatric syndrome (s) (Chandapasirt et al, 2015; Cruz-Jentoft et al, 2010). Its prevalence in patients with Head & Neck cancer is 39% (Hua et al, 2020) and is associated with an increase in postoperative complications (Achim et al, 2017; Bril et al, 2019), with greater toxicity of chemotherapy. (Wendrich et al, 2017) and reduced overall survival (Hua et al, 2020). It is measured by CT scan (assessment of muscle volume with respect to L3 using IMAGE J software) (Teigen et al, 2018) and by clinical tests (performance tests) (Swartz et al, 2016, Cruz-Jentoft et al, 2010). Several studies have shown a possible assessment of sarcopenia by measuring skeletal muscle mass with regard to C3 (Ufuk et al, 2019; Swartz et al, 2016). This trial aims to evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia in head and neck cancer evaluated by CT at C3.

NCT ID: NCT04754633 Completed - Covid19 Clinical Trials

Comparison of Chest CT Findings Related to COVID-19 With RSNA and BSTI Guidelines

Start date: July 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To present the first admission chest computed tomography (CT) findings of patients followed up with a diagnosis of COVID-19, and to compare the two classification systems by evaluating these findings according to the BSTI and RSNA guidelines.

NCT ID: NCT04474236 Completed - COVID-19 Clinical Trials

Lung Ultrasound for COVID-19 Initial Triage and Monitoring

QUICK
Start date: May 27, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The QUICK study main aim is to assess the predictive value at Day 1, of a model built on lung ultrasound (LUS) and clinical data, both recorded at hospital admission of COVID-19 patients.

NCT ID: NCT03381885 Completed - Back Pain Clinical Trials

Natural Experiment: "Gentle Nudge" Intervention, Eliminating Phone Call Requirement

LBP-ED
Start date: February 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Back pain costs the U.S. over $100 billion annually, and much of this spending is wasteful due to the overuse of advanced diagnostic imaging. Despite prominent clinical guidelines and the nationally recognized Choosing Wisely campaign discouraging use of costly and low value imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) studies remain frequently overused. Real-time electronic clinical decision support (CDS) at the point of care has been increasingly emphasized as an important strategy to improve the value of back pain management; however, studies suggest that CDS at best only modestly influences practice patterns. The aim is to implement a behavioral economic-based intervention in the ED to promote the use of CDS system.
