Filter by:This is a sub-study of a 5-year study designed to investigate how antibody and T cell responses following influenza vaccine compare among lung transplant patients, patients waiting for lung transplantation, and healthy individuals. This prospective, parallel study was done to investigate the responses to influenza vaccine in consecutive years.
This a sub-study of a 5-year study designed to investigate how antibody and T cell responses following influenza vaccine compare among lung transplant patients, patients waiting for lung transplantation, and healthy individuals. This trial is designed to investigate the hypothesis that there is no difference in T Cell response to the influenza vaccine between lung transplant patients and healthy controls.
This a sub-study of a 5-year study designed to investigate how antibody and T cell responses following influenza vaccine compare among lung transplant patients, patients waiting for lung transplantation, and healthy individuals. This study is designed to investigate influenza vaccine-induced antibodies in lung transplant patients between seasons.
This a sub-study of a 5-year study designed to investigate how antibody and T cell responses following influenza vaccine compare among lung transplant patients, patients waiting for lung transplantation, and healthy individuals. This study is designed to investigate two different definitions of influenza vaccine seroprotection at mid-season in lung transplant patients.
A prospective multi-center observational study to assess the incidence of influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA) in ICU patients and to identify host- and pathogen related risk factors for IAPA in EORTC negative ICU patients with severe influenza.
This a sub-study of a 5-year study designed to investigate how antibody and T cell responses following influenza vaccine compare among lung transplant patients, patients waiting for lung transplantation, and healthy individuals. This study is designed to investigate influenza vaccine-induced antibodies in lung transplant patients beyond the season of vaccination.
Background: Each Belgian winter season is characterized by a wave of influenza like and respiratory symptoms. Especially, the elderly people are more vulnerable to be infected by influenza, but also RSV. The recent COVID-19 pandemic and eventually a next wave, will increase the prevalence of influenza like and respiratory symptoms. Method: A multicentre non-commercial cohort study will be conducted in nursing home staff and residents during the Winter season 2020-2021. Objectives: Primary objective is the difference in incidence of influenza like and respiratory symptoms between cases (cases have evidence of past infection with SARS-CoV-2, referred to as Covid +) and controls (controls have no evidence of previous infection and are referred to as Covid -). The primary outcome analysis as well as the secondary outcome analyses will use two strata: nursing home staff and nursing home residents. The secondary objectives are the difference in incidence of COVID-19, influenza, RSV infections confirmed by PCR between cases and controls, to define a correlate of protection in the covid + group against re-infection with SARS-CoV-2 based on the study of the pre-existing antibody profile (antigen specificity, antibody type and antibody level) at the time of re-exposure. A multiplex assay will be used to assess the antibody profile. Finally, to study the COVID-19 disease severity (7 point WHO ordinal scale, this includes a.o. hospitalisation, mechanical ventilation need and ICU admission, mortality) based on the presence/absence of pre-existing antibodies and the pre-existing antibody profile. For other respiratory infections we will study the need for hospitalization and mortality.
This is a prospective observational study using a mobile study platform (app) that is designed for use on Android phones. Study participants will provide baseline demographic and medical information and report symptoms of respiratory infection on a weekly basis using the app. Participants will also report use of prevention techniques on the weekly survey. Mobility data will be collected passively using the sensors on the participant's smartphone, if the participant has granted the proper device permissions. The overall goals of the study are to track spread of coronavirus-like illness (CLI), influenza-like illness (ILI) and non-specific respiratory illness (NSRI) on a near-real time basis and identify specific behaviors associated with an increased or decreased risk of developing these conditions.
This randomized, open-label, active-controlled trial will assess humoral immune responses to a single dose of 2019-20 recombinant hemagglutinin quadrivalent influenza vaccines (RIV4) compared with standard egg-based unadjuvanted quadrivalent influenza vaccines (IIV4) among healthcare personnel (HCP) vaccinated during the previous 2018-19 season with IIV4. The trial will be conducted at two hospital sites in Israel during the 2019-20 influenza season among HCP who were enrolled in the Study of Healthcare Personnel with Influenza and other Respiratory Viruses in Israel (SHIRI).
The investigators decided to conduct a longitudinal study that compares the pulmonary tomographic patterns found in patients with viral pneumonia (i.e. influenza H1N1 and SARS-CoV-2) at a regional hospital. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the association between the radiological CT pattern and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation. A secondary aim is to assess the mortality within the first 28 days of intensive care unit admission.
