Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there are indicators of central sensitisation in patients post covid-19 infection.

This is an international, multicentre, non-interventional, observational study to assess the clinical diagnostic performance of a rapid, point of care (POC) COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) antigen In vitro diagnostic (IVD), The KnowNow SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test, using saliva samples when compared to reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as the standard detection of COVID-19 infection.

Develop coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) surveillance in pregnancy in The Gambia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and Uganda Estimate the seroepidemiology of COVID-19 infection among pregnant women in these countries Define the immune response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in pregnant women and their babies and determine the presence of antibodies in cord blood Work with communities to develop understanding of infection prevention and control techniques to reduce the spread of COVID-19 amongst the pregnant population

Patients with neurological or psychiatric symptoms or pre-existing disease will be sampled (blood for serum and DNA or saliva for DNA) at inclusion and at M6 (blood) and M12 (blood) depending on their pathology. Sampling will be done either at hospital if patient is on site for routine care or at home if no consultation is scheduled at hospital.

The identification of patients with genitourinary tumors who suffer from the infection by the Serious Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona-Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus can represent multiple benefits both for themselves and for health professionals and the health system itself. We would be able to know more precisely the clinical evolution of these type of patient, to know their prognosis and being capable to select the most appropriate treatment modality for future pandemics. SOGUG-COVID is an observational prospective-retrospective trial purely epidemiological, that aims to describe the population with genitourinary tumors (urothelial cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer and kidney cancer) infected by COrona VIrus Disease 19 (COVID-19) treated in Spanish hospitals, learn about the clinical presentation, therapeutic evolution and prognosis of said intercurrent infectious process, as well as its possible relationship with different clinical and therapeutic factors.

The aim of this study is to assess the epidemiological and clinical features of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Kazakhstan at the onset of the pandemic.

To study the effect of getting Covid-19 infection during pregnancy on the outcomes of the mother and the fetus including morbidity and mortality

Overweight or obese patients are particularly exposed to severe forms of COVID-19. Few data suggest that adipose tissue infected with SARS-CoV-2 could be involved in the onset of the cytokine storm seen in severe forms of COVID-19. The aim of this study is to determine the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2-infection of adipose tissue. In particular the investigators will study how this virus enters the adipocyte and how it modulates metabolism and inflammation in the adipose tissue. From these data, the investigators hope to determine at the adipose tissue level, original therapeutic targets to modulate the effects of SARS-CoV-2 at the systemic level.

Little is currently known about the immediate and long-term effect of COVID-19 on lung ventilation (delivery of air to the lungs) and lung perfusion (delivery of blood to the lungs). Some people who survive COVID-19 may have lung ventilation and/or perfusion injury that persists following COVID-19 recovery. This lung injury may be related to inflammation in the lung, breathlessness, exercise limitation and reduced quality of life. Therefore, towards the goal of understanding the effects of COVID-19 on lung health, the purpose of this study is to characterize and understand the clinical relevance of COVID-19 related lung ventilation and perfusion injury and associated inflammatory status, ≤4 weeks and 6-months following COVID-19 recovery in an asthmatic and healthy population. To do this, an asthmatic and healthy population who have, and have not, been previously diagnosed with COVID-19 will be studied.

Based on the experience of previous pandemics, countries reacted by applying different upgrade strategies to prevent or delay the widespread of the disease. Therefore, measures such as border closure, school closure, restrict social gathering (even shutdown of workplaces), limit population movements, and confinement meaning quarantines at the scale of cities or regions. In public hospitals, several measures have been decided to concentrate the power of care on potential wave of admissions of patients with severe forms of Covid-19. In this purpose, the number of available beds in Intensive Care Units (ICU) has been increased by two-fold and scheduled non-emergency surgical procedure have been cancelled. That means: For the most severe patients, new personals (physician such as anesthesiologists, nurses of other units) have been transferred in ICUs. For the less severe patients, personals of non-busy units have been transferred in busier ones. All these measures lead to major daily-life change sets that could be stressful. In the general population, it has been well documented that quarantine or confinement or isolation could lead to the occurrence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) syndrome in about 30% overall population. Importantly, high depressive symptoms have been reported in 9% of hospital staff. Numerous symptoms have been reported after quarantine or isolation such as emotional disturbance, depression, stress, low mood, irritability, insomnia, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. In hospital setting, few studies have been performed for assessing the psychological impact of quarantine and isolation. However, two studies reported a high prevalence of burn-out syndrome (BOS) in ICU physician and PTSD syndrome and depression in ICU nurses. As the consequences of all the measures decided and applied during Covid-19 pandemic could be important on caregivers, the present study primarily aims at assessing the prevalence of PTSD syndrome in a large population of caregivers implied or not in Intensive Care Units. The secondary objective were 1) to assess the prevalence of severe depression and anxiety and BOS 2) to isolate potential factors associated with PTSD, severe depression, anxiety or BOS.
