Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

This paper is intended to report our observational study in evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Tan Tock Seng Hospital hepatopancreatobiliary unit's surgical workload from January to June across 2019 to 2022, corresponding to the pre-pandemic baseline to its peak and the gradual normalization of hospital services as Singapore entered the transition phase to COVID-19 resilience.

The aim of this study is to independently evaluate the usability and performance of rapid assays detecting SARS-CoV-2 antigen(s) and intended for self-testing. For this, the results of the test performed and interpreted by an untrained lay user will be compared to the results obtained by a trained healthcare professional using the same test kit, and, separately, to the current gold standard for testing, RT-PCR detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA

This study was conducted to check whether coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID) vaccines have a relationship with LUTS or not in a healthy and mostly medically free population.

Point estimates of sensitivity and specificity of molecular POC platforms for SARS-CoV-2, with 95% confidence intervals, using RT-PCR as reference standard.

During the pandemic of COVID-19, studies reporting a high incidence of barotrauma, both pneumothorax but also pneumomediastinum, in patients with critical COVID-19. If this is complications of the respiratory support used to treat patients hypoxemia or if it is a direct consequence of COVID-19 damaging the lung tissue is not known. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence and type barotrauma, if there is an association between barotrauma and level of respiratory support used in the intensive care unit, and if barotrauma is associated with worse outcome compared to patients without barotrauma.

It was presented as a cross-sectional, single-center, retrospective case series. Pregnant women with a positive Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) diagnosis of Covid 19 were included in the study. The relationship between patients' musculoskeletal symptoms and signs and hand grip strength was investigated.

A novel coronavirus was identified following a cluster of cases of pneumonia in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. It rapidly spread as an outbreak there. On the 23rd of January 2020, it was announced that the outbreak constituted apublic health emergency of international concern. Few weeks later, virus spread was recorded worldwide and was announcedas a pandemic by WHO in March 11, 2020.Global spread included Egypt, and the first case was recorded inEgypt onFebruary 14, 2020.Diagnosis of COVID-19 depend on a case definition of suspected and confirmed case. Implementation of case definition depend on the clinical presentation of the case and on laboratory test as well asradiological finding.The cases will be stratified according to these collective data to different grades of severity. Mild cases are either asymptomatic or symptomatic with Leucopenia and/or lymphopenia with no radiological evidence of pneumonia (upper respiratory tract illness ± one of the following symptoms: fever < 38, cough,GIT symptoms, myalgia and/or arthralgia). Moderate cases include patients with leucopenia and/or lymphopenia with clinical and radiological evidence of pneumonia, including fever > 38 °Cwith or without cough and tachypnea (respiratory rate > 60 breaths/min forinfants < 2 months, > 50 breaths/min for infants 2-12 months, > 40 breaths/min for children 1-4 years, > 30 breaths/min for children older than5 years old), and the condition may be associated by moderate to severe dehydration. Cases are considered as severe and critically ill if any of the following is present: - O2 saturation ≤ 92% despite escalating O2 therapy to maximal allowed 6 L/min - O2 saturation ≤ 90 % at room air - If the patient in septic shock, confused or hemodynamically unstable despite fluid resuscitation - If respiratory manifestations are combined with other organ failure - Chest radiography > 50% lesion or progressive lesion within 24-48 hrs. Children may play a major role in community-based viral transmission. Available data suggest that children may have more upper respiratory tract involvement (including nasopharyngeal carriage) rather than lower respiratory tract involvement. The decision of the site of management either at home or in hospital depends on the clinical presentation, requirement for supportive care, potential risk factors for severe disease, and the ability of the patient to self-isolate at home. Supportive treatment including sufficient fluid and calories intake, and additional oxygen supplementation should be used in the treatment of children infected with COVID-19. The aim is to prevent ARDS, organ failure, and secondary nosocomial infections. If bacterial infection is suspected, broad-spectrum antibiotics may be used.

This study intends to describe the characteristics of patients given the Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccine and any commercially available influenza vaccines at the same time versus at different times.

Our study has the objective of identifying the epidemiological profil of the patients, as well as, the clinical, radiological and prognosis of obese patients with covid 19.

This study focuses on the population of malignant lymphoma patients who are also in clinical research. Through a real world cross-sectional survey of infection and death risk during the COVID-19 pandemic in Guangzhou from December 2022 to January 2023, this study aims to clarify the risk, level and mortality of lymphoma patients infected with COVID-19 during their clinical research, and provide necessary research data for Chinese lymphoma patients during the COVID-19 pandemic,
