Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

COVID-19 is an emergency situation which broke out from China in 2020. Health commitees and goverment set some rules and limit people's freedom to leave from their houses and it is called as 'social isolation'.Staying at home and disease bring about sedentary lifestyle, anxiety and depression and changed eating habits of all person. Hypertension is an important cardiovasculary risk factor and physical activity, stress managament are very important for disease control. In that study we aimed to assess hypertensive and healthy person's anxiety level, physical activity and qualit of life level during COVID-19 social isolation.

Breath gas analysis is the evaluation of exhaled breath. It aims to evaluate the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath. In this feasibility study it is intended to find specific peaks/pattern in exhaled breath indicating an infection with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2).

To evaluate host-immune biomarkers including TRAIL, IP-10, CRP and their computational integration for predicting COVID-19 and disease severity in patients with PCR-confirmed COVID-19.

Recent studies show that patients who have contracted COVID-19 retain very significant fatigue after resolving the infectious episode. This fatigue may be explained by low-grade inflammation. There is more data for patients with COVID-19 who have been hospitalized than for non-hospitalized patients with milder forms. However, COVID-19 related fatigue would not only affect elderly people with severe cardiopulmonary consequences but also young subjects without severities. This notion is not very widespread and to date, COVID contracted by young subjects is considered to have very few consequences on their health. It is also known that the prevalence of sleep debt is significant in the general population and particularly in young people, and it is also known that sleep deprivation increases low-grade inflammation and facilitates the risk of viral contamination. The association between sleep deprivation, drowsiness and possibly low-grade inflammation raise questions about the mechanisms of fatigue in the general population. Investigators are also entitled to wonder to what extent the chronic sleep debt suffered by the French population can explain an increased risk of contamination by COVID 19 but also significant residual fatigue after COVID infection. Bordeaux University Hospital screens 2,000 subjects per day at risk of being infected by COVID, it would be very interesting to measure, in a population of young adults aged 18-45 years, frequently exposed to a sleep debt, sleep hygiene (bedtime and wake-up times, sleep and wake-up schedules, and overall sleep satisfaction), average sleep duration, level of fatigue and drowsiness and to compare these thresholds between subjects with or without COVID 19 according to nasopharyngeal PCR.

Prospective samples will be collected to evaluate the agreement between a EUA RT-PCR test as the comparator method against the Nanomix eLab® system.

This study has 3 main goals: to quantitavely describe the Covid-19 impact on the organization and functioning of the Lombardy's emergency system; to create statistical model able to predict the flow of patients to the emergency room during the epidemic period and their destination (ex: discharge, hospitalization, death); to value the impact on the non Covid-19 patients, both for their possibility to receive medical treatment and as an outcome on their health

We conducted a national, single center (Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid, Spain, Valladolid), prospective study of patients with prior hospitalization because of COVID-19 who were admitted between March 1st, 2020, and May 15th, 2020. All eligible patients underwent at least at first-time follow-up from the index event. Exclusion criteria were age < 18 years old, pregnant women, terminally ill patients, active SARS-CoV-2 infections, inability to exercise and previous known severe pulmonary or heart disease. Patients underwent a clinical assessment for symptom burden, questionnaire for quality of life (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire and SF-36), venous blood sampling, 6-minute walking test (6-MWT), tests of lung function (spirometry and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide) and treadmill cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET). 48-hours before the test of lung function and the CPET, all patients yielded a negative result in the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2. For definitive analysis patients were assigned to the control group if they did not refer dyspnea at the time of the follow-up, a small asymptomatic out-patient control group without prior hospitalization was also included.

The hypothesis of this work is that the COVID 19 pandemic and the associated lockdowns are likely to modify the adherence to positive airway pressure (PAP) treatments among patients with sleep apnea. Identifying these patients and identifying adherence "trajectories" over time would help mobilize human and telemedicine resources on the patients most in need.

The aim of the cohort prospective observational study is to define the major factors influencing the course of COVID-19 infections and its prognosis in hospitalised patients. The investigators plan to include 300 patients hospitalised with COVID-19 infection. The phone contacts with patients are due after 90 and 180 days after discharge.

The goals of this study are 1) to validate the use of a wearable diagnostic capability and software as a medical device (SaMD) algorithm for the pre or early-symptomatic detection of COVID-19 infection, 2) assess the wearable device on the subjects, and 3) ensure data are collected, securely stored, and easily read and interpreted by non-laboratory personnel.
