Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The aim of study is to investigate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on ophthalmology training programs among residents. To the best of our knowledge this study is the first of its kind in Poland. The impact of COVID-19 on ophthalmology training programs is largely unknown as there are only few studies assessing the above issue from the resident's point of view.

The investigators planned to examine a cohort of admitted patients at University of Chile Clinical Hospital with COVID-19 diagnosis. Authors report data on mortality, ICU admission, need of invasive mechanical ventilation, awake and ventilated prone positioning, use of High Flow Nasal Cannula, Thromboembolic disease, Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and Renal Replacement Therapy. Additionally, the risk of in-hospital death according to chronic disease burden and severity of illness at admission was assessed.

Data for acute invasive rhinosinusitis was obtained from the Otorhinolaryngology departments at our tertiary hospital at the period from January 2017 to December 2020. Then the risk factors of comorbid diseases and fungal types between post-Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 groups regarding the incidence of invasive rhinosinusitis are compared.

This observational clinical study aims to evaluate the presence of symptoms of COVID-19 infection in patients who participated in K031-120 or K032-120 ("long hauler").

This is a prospective multi-center observational study which purpose is to evaluate the ability of blood-based inflammatory markers to risk-stratify patients hospitalized for Covid-19. Blood-based biomarkers examined include: soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, D-dimer, ferritin, lactate dehydrogenase and interleukin-6.

The aim of the study is to define the clinical and biochemical parameters that characterize COVID-19 patients with a negative prognostic evolution. Our clinical score will be capable to recognize patient with favorable prognosis or patient with poor prognosis by statistical data analysis.

Covid-19 is an important human and animal pathogen, it mostly causes respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. Clinical features range from a common cold to severe diseases such as severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, bronchitis, pneumonia, multi-organ failure, and even death. It seems to be less commonly affecting children and to cause fewer symptoms and less severe disease in this age group compared with adults. Clinicians have observed many extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID-19, as hematologic, cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary, endocrinologic, neurologic, ophthalmologic, and dermatologic systems can all be affected. This retrospective study that will be conducted at Hamad General Hospital in Qatar, aims to determine the renal involvement in all pediatric patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 from March 1, 2020, to January 1, 2021.

The ongoing SARS-CoV2 or Covid-19 pandemic is causing a major global health crisis. In France, it prompted an urgent reorganization of the healthcare supply, mobilizing caregivers and hospital staff in a climate of uncertainty. Health services have been put to the test, some staff being on the front line, others having faced the reorganization of the health system necessitated by such a pandemic. Frontline caregivers have been compared to "fighters on the front lines." They encountered many difficulties, such as direct exposure to patients with a high viral load, exposure to the risk of contamination, physical exhaustion, reorganization of workspaces, adaptation to rigid work organizations, the management of the shortage of materials, the unusually high number of deaths among patients, colleagues or relatives, ethical questions relating to decision-making in a strained healthcare system. The psychological impact on these hospital staff is an indirect issue of such a pandemic in terms of mental health. The investigators have little data in the literature on the incidence of psychiatric episodes in the post-epidemic period. Work on the impact of two major pandemics of influenza A H1N1 (2009) and SARS-CoV-1 (2003) on the mental health of caregivers and other staff working in hospitals reports increased rates of mental disorders after discharge from anxiety-type crisis, depression and post-traumatic stress. This over-representation of mental disorders was still found several years after the epidemic. Similar results are emerging in recent studies involving hospital staff who were used in the Covid-19 crisis. These highlight a certain number of risk factors for the occurrence of these disorders (young age, nursing profession, underlying psychiatric pathology, exercise carried out in the first line of Covid).

Anosmia is a symptom present in 40 to 80% of patients and usually only lasts 1 to 2 weeks. However, in nearly one in five patients, it can last beyond or even several months with consequences in terms of undernutrition and depression. However, olfactory rehabilitation is a technique validated in post-infectious anosmia since 2014 and recommended by international learned societies to accelerate recovery with nearly 63% improvement in anosmia In the context of the health crisis linked to the coronavirus, approximately 1 million French people will have persistent anosmia following an infection with COVID-19. A web-application to support the olfactory coaching of anosmic patients and help with follow-up seems relevant to promote recovery and the proper conduct of this coaching. covidanosmie.fr is a web application dedicated to olfactory rehabilitation, accessible free of charge.

This is an Intermediate- Size Patient Population Expanded Access Protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HB-adMSCs for the treatment of patients with Post-COVID-19 Syndrome. The investigational product will be an add-on treatment to the standard of care.
