Filter by:Note that this is a study that is co-sponsored by Medecins Sans Frontieres, Spain, and the University of Oxford. The primary objective of this study is to identify clinical and biochemical prognostic markers in adults with virologically confirmed COVID-19 who do not require oxygen supplementation, with a focus on: aiding safe discharge from a healthcare facility (i.e. a high NPV); near-term impact on COVID-19 interventions in resource-limited settings (i.e. simple clinico-demographic variables and biochemical markers for which near-patient / POCTs are commercially available or in late-stage development). The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the field-based performance of near-patient lateral flow assays for suPAR and IL-6 in adults with non-severe SARS-CoV-2 infection
SARS-CoV-2 induced by COVID 19, involved the hospitalization of 101,932 patients in France, including 4,007 in intensive care (source: Santé Publique France). Alsace was one of the most affected regions on the metropolitan territory with a large number of patients hospitalized at the University Hospital of Strasbourg. In view of the seriousness of the epidemic and the rapid arrival of new patients requiring mechanical ventilation, 3 new intensive care units have been created on the NHC site alone, making it possible to accommodate a maximum of 111 patients (compared to 52 during normal periods).
Prospective assay for SARS-CoV-2 antibody detection indirectly by immunofluorescence: SARS-CoV2 IIF method
A novel zoonotic coronavirus was discovered in Wuhan (Hubei Province, China) mid-December 2019 and was named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus rapidly spread to the rest of the world, including Europe and explicitly affects the respiratory system, generating Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study is a monocentric interventional prospective cohort study. After signing a written informed consent, participants will be recruited for questionnaire completion and blood sampling. Sample storage and analysis will be performed at the laboratory of microbiology of the UZ Brussel. - To document SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among employees of the UZ Brussel at day 0 (i.e. at beginning of the study, planned early May 2020), month 2 and month 5. - To document number of SARS-CoV-2 seroconversions among employees of the UZ Brussel over a period of 5 months.
This is an observational study. The aim is to describe the natural history and clinical evolution over time of hospitalized patients affected by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) infection, including the genetic pathology of the disease and improve therapeutic procedures.
Current management of VID-19 consists of oxygen support without specific treatment. Hospitalization may suddenly require delayed resuscitation. This evolution corresponds to an atypical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the mechanism of which is poorly understood and difficult to predict. The general pathophysiology of ARDS, the vascular tropism of SARS-Cov2, the description of coagulopathy and numerous pulmonary artery thromboses in resuscitation and the encouraging investigation of antithrombotics in general ARDS
According to recent data, death rate is more than 20% for 75 years old hospitalized patients and older. In case of aggravation, according to the latest observations, if they are refused for mechanical ventilation in intensive care, their death rate could reach 60% even for patients without comorbidity. Apart from an increase in oxygen therapy, no specific treatment is currently proposed. The control of the inflammatory component seems to be a key element to be able to influence the patients' health evolution. Polyvalent intravenous immunoglobilins have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties with a favorable safety profile for these elderly patients and several clinical cases lead to positive impact in the caring for Covid patients. This study objective is evaluation of the efficacy of polyvalent IVIg in combination with the standard management of patients aged 75 and over with SARSCov2 infection with acute respiratory failure (saturation ≤ 95%) requiring oxygen therapy> 5 L / min (i.e. patients considered as moderate to severe ARDS according to the Berlin definition, Pa02 / Fi02≤200) and disqualified from a care in the ICU.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is a pandemic disease with worldwide spreading. Limited data are existed regarding SARS-CoV-2 positive carriers among asymptomatic medical employees in non-profile infectious clinic, e.g. cardiovascular clinic, routinely working in the pandemic region with two million inhabitants. The aim is to test the percentage and increase of the SARS-CoV-2 positive carriers among asymptomatic medical employees in high-volume cardiovascular center in routine clinical practice.
Sars-Cov2 has been found in the digestive tract, as well as the respiratory tract. Protection of health care workers during surgery has been increased and some guidelines advocate for abandoning laparoscopy in COVID19 patients for fear of contamination, evenghtough this does not benefit the patient. However, Sars-Cov2 contamination risk during visceral surgery remains unknown. Inadequate protection is unnecessary costful and can be inefficient if too binding. Our hypotheses are that 1) Sars-Cov 2 can travel through droplet and air during visceral surgery. 2) Laparoscopy, because of the pneumoperitoneum and its leaks, warrant more air contamination whereas laparotomy warrant more droplet contamination, which would justified increased protection.
The COVID-19 pandemic is very present in our region, the Grand-Est region is considered as one of the first COVID-19 epicentres in France. COVID-19 causes an acute respiratory distress syndrome requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation in resuscitation.
