PICS clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Impact of a COVID-19 Related ICU Stay on Mental Health for Patients and Their Relatives

PICOVIDS

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

As ICU mortality has been significantly decreased over the last two decades, the focus has been shifting from short term (such as ICU and hospital mortality) to long-term outcome. This evolution has led to a new entity that has been established in 2012 at a stakeholder conference: the Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). It is defined as impairments in physical, cognitive and mental health status arising after critical illness and persisting beyond acute care hospitalisation. As family members of ICU patients may also be affected by mental health impairment, the PICS-F (F for Family) has been introduced simultaneously. It is expected that the COVID-19 pandemic will result in a significant increase of the proportion of patients and relatives suffering PICS and PICS-F, as there is during the COVID-19 related ICU-stay exposure to a high number of risk factors for developing these entities. This Post Intensive Care Syndrome in COVID-19 survivors (PICOVIDS) study is an observational, single-center exploratory follow-up cohort study that aims to get insight into the mental impact of a COVID-19 related ICU stay for COVID-19 ICU survivors and their family members, 18 months after ICU discharge. Specific research questions are: 1. What is the prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and what is the prevalence of these specific disorders in COVID-19 ICU-survivors and their relatives 18 months after ICU-discharge? 2. What are important risk factors for these symptoms and disorders? 3. What is the satisfaction level of patient and caregiver about the ICU care: How did they experience ICU stay?
