Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

Evaluate SARS-CoV2 infection and the degree of immunity possibly developed in transplanted population using the Luciferase Immuno Precipitation System (LIPS) test.

Methods: Out of 2000 kidney transplant recipients in our center in Kuwait, collecting data was started for all COVID-19-positive kidney transplant recipients till August 2020. Clinical features, management details and both patient and graft outcomes were reported.

Patients with diabetes have been listed as people at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Moreover, the relationship between diabetes-related phenotypes and the severity of COVID-19 remains unknown. This observational study aims to to evaluate the risk of disease severity and mortality in association with diabetes in COVID-19 inpatients and identify the clinical and biological features associated with worse outcomes.

This retrospective double-cohort study seeks to: Describe the cardiovascular manifestations and electrophysiological (EP) substrate in COVID-19 infection and their association with clinical outcomes; and Develop a method of cardiovascular risk stratification in COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted routine hospital services globally. The hospital services include surgeries for benign diseases, cancer surgery and obstetric surgery. A study conducted by CovidSurg Collaborative estimated that 28,404,603 operations would be cancelled or postponed during the peak 12 weeks of disruption due to COVID-19. Globally, 81.7% of benign surgery, 37.7% of cancer surgery and 25.4% of elective Caesarean sections would be cancelled or postponed. If countries increase their normal surgical volume by 20% post-pandemic, it would take a median 45 weeks to clear the backlog of operations resulting from COVID-19 disruption. This study aims to estimate total number of elective operations postponed during COVID-19 in geriatric population.

In this study we will be monitoring for patient events (emergency department admission, hospital admission, admission to an observation unit, or death) and evaluating the feasibility and utility of using pinpointIQ in the management of patients with COVID-19. Vital sign (physiology data) is collected to build a Covid Decompensation Index and contribute data to a Covid Digital Hub supported by the National Institutes of Health.

Mortality rates caused by SARS CoV-2 differ between countries and this difference might be explained by several reasons. Childhood vaccination rate is thought to be one of them. Therefore present study aimed to examine the possible relationship between DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) and measles vaccination rates of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries and case fatality rate (CFR) caused by SARS CoV-2.

Although 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.

The study aims to test the frequency of severe acute respiratory syndrome new corona virus SARS-CoV-2 or other respiratory viruses in patients presenting with anosmia or dysgeusia to Ain Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt.

The new coronavirus pandemic responsible for the severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS-CoV2 requires, in its severe forms, the use of invasive ventilation in intensive care. The first patients seen in intensive care presented with neurological symptoms and usually not seen in non-viral ARDS or due to other viral causes. These were mainly restless awakenings, attempts at self-extubation and confusional syndromes. Although the data in the literature do not seem to reveal the presence of SARS-CoV2 in the CSF of these patients, certain elements seem to show parenchymal brain damage with the description of hypometabolism of the frontal regions. In addition, most of these patients present a memory complaint after going into intensive care (personal data not published). We do not know to date what is the cognitive and psychic profile of these patients, nor what will be their future evolution. Some patients may require specific neuro-cognitive rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to assess the cognitive profile of patients infected with COVID-19 who have used invasive ventilation in the intensive care unit of Paris Saint-Joseph hospital since April 2020, in order to be able to compare them between them and follow their evolution in the medium term. This work could make it possible to describe the specific cognitive impairment of SARS-CoV2, by trying to evade other causes of cognitive disorders in patients hospitalized in intensive care for respiratory distress (hypoxia, treatments, metabolic disorders, etc.). The main objective is to follow the medium-term evolution between 3 and 6 months of the cognitive profile of patients with severe form of SARS-CoV2 with the use of ventilatory resuscitation.
