Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The purpose of the questionnaire is to find risk factors for the development of post-traumatic stress disease (PTSD) in health workers during COVID-19 pandemy.

The study is a cross-sectional survey study targeting patients aged 45-75 who had their screening or surveillance colonoscopy postponed or delayed due to the COVID pandemic. Study staff will survey a random subsample of patients to assess anxiety, COVID risk tolerance, cancer worry, willingness to screen and barriers to screening colonoscopy, and preference for colonoscopy and alternative colon cancer screening options. Eligible patients will be sent a survey packet in the mail that will include a cover letter, an information sheet describing the study, an incentive, and the survey. The cover letter will include information for participants to opt-out if they desire. Patients will be asked to complete the survey and return it back to study staff. Consent is implied with return of the survey. For the study, staff plan to invite 300 patients and expect to receive 195 completed surveys. Analyses will examine whether COVID-19 has changed patients' interest in colon cancer screening and the strength of patients' preferences for colonoscopy and other approaches to colon cancer screening. It will then examine factors associated with positive and negative views on rescheduling colonoscopies such as anxiety, worry, and risk perceptions.

The aim of this study is to analyze the perceptions, representations and experiences of septic isolation of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection. This analysis could lead to better understanding and communication between the medical profession and patients in septic isolation in hospital. It would also provide patient-specific responses to their expectations, as to their families.

A retrospective cohort study investigating clinical notes using Natural Language Processing in combination with structured data from the Electronic Health Record (EHR) to create a database for analytics to identify features associated with outcomes.

To limit the pandemic Covid-19 infection, the French government imposed a closure of all Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The family's visitations are prohibited during active Covid -19 pandemic in 2020 and in 2021. This restrictive visit policy could result in an increase in symptoms of anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder for relatives of ICU patients. The aim of this study is to compare symptoms of anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress for relatives of ICU patients during Covid period with those during no Covid period (2020 and 2021) with those no Covid period (2022)

The investigators retrospectively evaluated all the patients operated in a high-risk community hospital from the first Italian case of Covid-19 (February 21st) to the April 10th (in order to have at least a 30-days follow-up). The investigators selected those patients who had a preoperative or post-operative positive Real Time - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2 and the clinical outcome of the participants was evaluated in term of need of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) post-operative recovery, medical and surgical complications, length of hospital stay and death.

18 month study, funded by ESRC COVID-19 research fund. The aim is to explore and support the rapid shift from face-to-face to remote (telephone and video) conversations in primary care. There are three components: a study of clinical interactions and decision making (micro); four locality-based organisational case studies of new models of care (meso); abd a a study of how digital innovation can support NHS infrastructure and vice versa (macro).

Solving the problem of detecting asymptomatic carriers who can transmit infection is key to protecting vulnerable residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities, to protecting frontline workers who care for them, and to facilitating return to work (including return of nurses and medical assistants). The wearable biometric technology, if widely disseminated among vulnerable populations and the community-at-large, will help avoid the ravages of seasonal flu and other contagious illnesses, and the society will be better prepared for future waves of COVID-19 or other pandemics. Even if a vaccine is developed, due to immune senescence and immunocompromise, elderly people and those with chronic medical conditions may not be well protected by it. Continuous biomonitoring provides another layer of protection for them.

This study aim is to assess the prevalence of SARS-COV-2 in unselected pregnant women on labour (or a predictable delivery during next 24 hours), their outcome and sociodemographic conditions.

This study objective is to collect tear and blood samples from individuals with positive SARS-COV2 diagnosis and test those samples for the presence of various SARS-COV2 viral antigens and autoantibodies.
