PsoVac: Educational Needs re Vaccines for Biologic Patients With Psoriasis
PsoriasisCovid19To determine if there is a need for further education on vaccines with psoriasis patients who are on a biologic. In regards to the COVID-19, it is important that psoriasis patients - whether on a biologic or not - understand whether they can have certain vaccines. That will depend on the type of vaccine that becomes available.
Staff Absenteeism and Delivery of Healthcare Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 PandemicWork attendance of more than 700 hospital workers was evaluated. The assessment of the number of medical services that were performed was based on monthly reports prepared for the national payer of health services.
Home-based Kidney Care in Native Americans of New Mexico (HBKC) - Enhancement: COVID-19 Study
CKDNovel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) OR COVID-19 related Addition: The aim of this addition activity is to track the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on participants with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Investigators have modified the original HBKC Study protocol to expand data currently collected from study participants to include data in the following domains linked to the COVID-19 epidemic: symptoms of COVID-19 disease, access to healthcare, and impact on health related behaviors (such as medication adherence, physical activity, dietary behaviors, smoking, and alcohol use).
ProAdrenomedullin Assessment of Multi-Organ Failure in COvid-19 Sepsis
Covid19COVID-19 is a worldwide pandemic. Around 5% of infected patients are admitted in ICU, mainly for respiratory failure. Outcome of these patients is linked to other organ failures. Optimal therapies are not defined so far. The sponsor want to assess the role of MR-ProADM as prognostic biomarker, and the impact of treatments (including supportive treatments) on MOF occurrence and outcome.
Rehabilitation After Admission in Intensive Care Unit for COVID-19
Covid19France and especially the region "Grand Est" have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The first affected patients gradually began leaving the hospitalization sector and some of them required rehabilitation before returning home. Because it has only been studied for few months, COVID 19 possible impairment remain unknown, especially in patients who required admission in ICU and needed rehabilitation. In order to better understand the impact of the disease, the investigators wish to carry out a descriptive analysis of hospitalized patient in rehabilitation center for Post-Covid-19 rehabilitation after ICU. The purpose of this study was to describe the impairments and functional independency in patients addressed to a rehabilitation center after an ICU stay for COVID 19 and to explore the factors associated with their evolution.
COVID-19 IgG Formation in Physicians at ALGH and Their Household Members
Covid19SARS-CoV Infection1 moreThis study is a community hospital-based study that will enhance information being obtained in similar studies taking place in France, Denmark, and China. These studies are designed to assess risk of healthcare workers during outbreaks of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) also known as sudden acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). This will be a prospective, single-center observational study involving human subjects. IgG (Immunoglobulin G) antibody will be tested in the serum of physicians working at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital (ALGH). IgG antibodies are the antibodies that form in response to viral or bacterial infections and typically reflect protection against said infection. To date, there have been no studies confirming that IgG antibody formation confers immunity, but studies are ongoing. Furthermore, data is lacking showing conclusive persistence of (possibly protective) antibodies over time. Attending physicians on the medical staff, fellow physicians, and house staff residents who worked at ALGH from March 1st, 2020 and on, will be eligible for the study. Testing will involve a venipuncture to obtain approximately 3mL of blood to be sent to ACL Laboratories for SARS-CoV-2 IgG testing. For physician subjects, this will be performed on four separate occasions, once at the onset of the study, a second test 3 months after the first test, a third test 6 months from the time of the first test, and a fourth and final test 12 months after the initial test. Two household members (defined below), one-time testing will occur within 2 weeks of the physician subject testing positive. All testing will be performed in a two-week window. All physician subjects will be tested at a centralized site that is only serving these subjects, by appointment. We will be offloading testing for household members to one localized commercial ACL site on the ALGH campus at the Center for Advanced Care. The household member testing will be extended to an additional two-week period after the two week window in which physicians are tested for a total of four weeks maximum. One-time testing for IgG antibodies to COVID-19 will be offered to a maximum of two household members, as defined as, any person over the age of 18 years old who has lived at home with the physician, who has tested positive for IgG antibodies, for at least 2 weeks in total duration since March 1st, 2020. The physician will be permitted to choose who gets tested, and the chosen adult subject will provide their independent consent to be tested.
COVID-19 Testing Sample Acquisition Throughput and Efficiency
SARS-CoV InfectionRespiratory Viral Infection2 moreThis QI project seeks to evaluate the relative test sample acquisition throughput, personal protective equipment utilization, and relative operational costs of provider-administered COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) nasal samples with and with the use of HEPA-filtered, positive pressure isolation booths.
Lymphocyte - Monocyte Ratio As An Independent Predictor For Progression Of Illness In Patients With...
Covid19Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID 19), first identified in December 2019 in a cluster of population in a Chinese province, soon emerged as a pandemic, causing a huge strain on healthcare system and mortality all over the world. An ideal marker for predicting course of this illness should be easily available and reproducible; as the disease burden has spread to third world countries whose healthcare system is resource limited. Our study is aimed to study the utility of lymphocyte- monocyte ratio in the early stages to predict the progression of COVID 19 pneumonia.
COVID-19 Risk From Attending Outpatient Radiology Appointments
Covid19By using recent data on hospital attendance and COVID-19 laboratory tests, available within two NHS trusts in Nottingham and Cardiff we will enable the calculation of the risk of developing COVID-19 infection after attending an outpatient hospital appointment. This will assist in the restart planning when resuming face to face outpatient radiology appointment.
Registry of COVID-19 Patients at AOUI Verona
Coronavirus Disease 2019The registry of COVID-19 patients was designed to collect epidemiolgical, demographic, clinical, anamnestic and outcome information together with serological and microbiological samples from COVID-19 patients admitted at the University Hospital of Verona (Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata, AOUI Verona). All SARS-CoV 2 positive patients admitted and able to give an informed consent are included, irrespectively of age and gender.
