Arrhythmic Manifestations and Management in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients
Coronavirus InfectionsAlthough arrhythmias appear to be common in COVID-19 patients, arrhythmia mechanisms and characteristics, predisposing factors, incidence of sudden cardiac death and predictors, therapeutic strategies employed as well as long term outcomes are not well understood. Hence, we seek to develop a multicenter registry aimed to characterize arrhythmic manifestations, employed treatment strategies and long-term outcomes among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the US.

COVID-19I. Study Design: This is a single-arm feasibility study to assess the safety and efficacy of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma (CP) in intubated, mechanically ventilated patients with confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia by chest X-ray or chest CT. hospitalized patients with acute respiratory symptoms between 3 and 7 days after the onset of symptoms, with COVID-19. II. Study Population: Population 1: Mechanically ventilated intubated COVID-19 patients aged 18 years or older. Population 2: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients aged ≥18 years of age with respiratory symptoms within 3 to 7 days from the beginning of illness. III. Study Agent: SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma (1-2 units; ~200-400 mL at neutralization antibody titer >1:160.

Clinical and Immunologic Impact of Perinatal SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection
Covid19Pregnancy Related1 moreThis is a multi-center prospective study that aims to investigate the clinical and immunologic impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women and neonates. The goal is to recruit 200 SARS-CoV-2 infected pregnant women starting at 24 weeks of gestation in a neonatal network of 45.000 birth a year. Clinical data will be collected from women and neonates. Upper airways samples will be obtained from both for bio-markers investigation. Finally, maternal and umbilical cord serum and human milk will be obtained for antibody assessment.
Psychological Outcome of COVID-19 Lockdown on Psychiatric Hospital Staff and Close Relatives
Anxiety StateCOVID-193 moreThe purpose of the investigators is to study the psychological impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the members of the Ville Evrard Hospital staff and their close relatives, and to identify potential lockdown conditions that could increase anxiety, anger and depressive symptoms in this population.

Antibody Seroprevalence and Rate of Asymptomatic Infections With SARS-CoV-2 in Austrian Hospital...
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2SARS-CoV 22 moreContext: On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the current corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak as a pandemic. The first laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19 in Austria was announced on February 27, 2020. Since then, the incidence of infection follows a gradual increase. Measurements taken by the Austrian government include travel restrictions, closing of national borders, social distancing, a mandatory use of facemasks in public, and closing of stores and restaurants. The underlying aim of those imposed restrictions is to contain the viral transmission and to slow spreading of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives: The aims of this study are to determine i) how many employees in Austrian trauma hospitals and rehabilitation facilities have virus specific IgG and IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, ii) how many are active virus carriers (symptomatic and asymptomatic), iii) how many employees are in their incubation period during the study period, and iv) to calculate the SARS-CoV-2 prevalence together with a specific occupation associated infection risk within the different specifications of health care workers. Study Design: Open uncontrolled observational cross-sectional study. Setting/Participants: A total of 4000 employees in 11 Austrian trauma hospitals and rehabilitation facilities of the Austrian Social Insurance for Occupational Risks (AUVA) will be invited to participate in the study. Study Interventions and Measures: An antibody test for SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG and IgM antibodies, and a RT-PCR test based on oropharyngeal swab samples, as well as laboratory-based antibody tests using ELISA, will be implemented to ensure protection and preservation of health in hospital staff and are not part of the study. The tests will be conducted twice, with approximately two weeks in between testing. The results of the tests will be used for statistical analysis in this study together with a questionnaire including questions related to personal health, traveling activities, living situation, as well as inquiries of symptoms and comorbidities.
