Active clinical trials for "Respiratory Tract (Lung and Bronchial) Diseases"

Corona Virus Disease or COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus. There have been reports of serious COVID-19 illness in children. In addition it has been linked to clusters of children presenting with high fevers and inflammation. Sepsis, also called blood poisoning, is an abnormal response of the body to some infections. We aim to conduct research in children under 18 admitted to intensive care unit. Using a systems approach towards mapping the body's immune and metabolic responses to COVID-19 or related illnesses and compare with other sepsis like illnesses.

Aim: to investigate whether the 4C Mortality score, which measures the severity of COVID-19, and the CAM-ICU 7 score , which measures the severity of delirium, in ICU. To compare two scores in terms of the number of days without intubation and 28 day mortality rates in ICU.

Prospective, controlled follow-up observation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients with regard to the aspect of fatigue (cognitive / motor) and psychological disorders in the areas of anxiety, depression and somatization.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of COVID-19 among the residents and geriatric inpatients of the care facilities attached to the Centre Hospitalier Sud Essonne (a general hospital located in Ile-de-France, France), and the factors that are likely to influence this prevalence.

Radiological and lung function recovery following Covid-19 infection.

A retrospective analysis of the adult COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU. A chart review will be conducted and multiple baseline characteristics, demographics, and treatments given will be recorded. Variables collected will include Age, Gender, BMI, Smoking status, Past medical history, Vital signs on admission, symptoms on admission, duration of symptoms, laboratory results on admission, treatment given. Treatment options will include (Steroids, plasma exchange, IVIG, antibiotics, mode of respiratory support). Primary outcomes will include; Death, duration of ICU stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, in-hospital complications. A regression model will be used to predict poor prognostic factors. Inclusion criteria: patients with confirmed PCR results for COVID-19 AND require ICU admission. Exclusion criteria: those with negative results, pediatric patients and those not requiring ICU admission.

In order to improve routine immunization uptake during COVID-19 pandemic, and to understand the perceptions and barriers related to vaccine hesitancy and coverage during COVID 19 and to explore the need for COVID-19 vaccination, separately and as a part of routine immunization, the investigators will be using qualitative methodology to explore and understand the role of mHealth and social media interventions, that are most suitable in Pakistani context to improve vaccination coverage during COVID-19 pandemic.

The Individual Knowledge Statement Questionnaire of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patient and Resident Proxies questionnaire, which can be used in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and their relatives, will be adapted into Turkish and its psychometric properties will be examined, and the knowledge level of patients and their relatives about the disease and general health will be investigated.

The occurrence of renal failure during severe forms of COVID-19 is common (20-35% of patients treated in intensive care) and associated with an unfavorable short-term prognosis, but the medium-term renal outcome is not is not known. The aim of the study is to establish the frequency of chronic kidney failure after AKI KDIGO 2 and 3 occurring during severe COVID-19 in intensive care.
