Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study will be to determine the epidemiological and clinical features of COVID-19 cases, immunological and virological courses, interaction with nutritional status, and response to treatment for COVID-19 patients admitted to treatment centers in Ethiopia.

Methods: This multi-site cohort enrolls, patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection admitted to treatment centers will be enrolled irrespective of their symptoms and followed up for 12 months. Baseline epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and imaging data will be collected from treatment records, interviews, physical measurements and biological samples. Endline data involves treatment and prognostic outcomes to be measured using different biomarkers and clinical parameters, The patients will be followed up in the selected treatment centers for COVID-19 infection. For all data collected both descriptive and multivariable analyses will be performed to isolated determinants of the treatment outcome and prognosis to generate relevant information for informed prevention and case management.


Clinical Trial Description

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) became pandemic after emerging in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Following the swift spread of the virus,4, 710,000 confirmed cases and 315,000 deaths were reported worldwide as of May 17, 2020,and 317 confirmed cases and 5 deaths are reported nationally. To understand the drastically negative impacts of COVID-19 on the public health and key features pertinent to the disease various researches are under investigation at the global level and they are contributing to delineating the characteristics of the disease and its lethality. However, the potential acceptability of different risks varies depending on numerous factors including the type of research and the context in which it takes place. Currently, it is recognized that a 'one size fits all' approach towards the design and implementation of interventions may not be appropriate. Therefore, it is found apparent that global priorities, protocols and intervention assessments have to be contextualized and adjusted to local needs and realities, including translation of results.

Objective: To determine the epidemiological and clinical features of COVID-19 cases, immunological and virological courses, interaction with nutritional status, and response to treatment for COVID-19 patients admitted to treatment centers in Ethiopia.

Methods: This multi-site cohort enrolls, patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection admitted to treatment centers will be enrolled irrespective of their symptoms and followed up for 12 months. Baseline epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and imaging data will be collected from treatment records, interviews, physical measurements and biological samples. Endline data involves treatment and prognostic outcomes to be measured using different biomarkers and clinical parameters, The patients will be followed up in the selected treatment centers for COVID-19 infection. For all data collected both descriptive and multivariable analyses will be performed to isolated determinants of the treatment outcome and prognosis to generate relevant information for informed prevention and case management.

Expected outcome: The study will generate scientific data for a systematic understanding of natural history, epidemiological characteristics, clinical features and management of COVID-19 that will in turn enables country's health sector to develop strategies to prevent and control the pandemic before it poses further health and socioeconomic crisis. ;
