About this study

The aim of this study is to determine the risk factors for development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and to identify the prognostic factors of VAP among Coronavirus Disease 2019 (CoViD-19) patients. We hypothesized that CoViD-19 serves as a high risk factor for the development of VAP and it affects clinical outcome measures negatively.

Read the detailed description

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (CoViD-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) became a pandemic affecting thousands of individuals worldwide. A considerable proportion of CoViD-19 patients require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), although limited data are available on their clinical characteristics and course. The results of retrospective studies indicate older age, presence of comorbidies and secondary infections as predictors of mortality among this population. Further evaluation regarding ICU clinical course and predictors of mortality is needed.

The aim of this study is to determine the risk factors for development of VAP and to identify the prognostic factors of VAP among CoViD-19 patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Assessment of ventilator-associated pneumonia criteriaDiagnostic test

    Diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia is based upon the routine daily clinical and laboratory parameters.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 28-day all-cause mortality

    Measured: at study completion, anticipated 5 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Days of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: average time frame expected 2-3 weeks

  2. ICU length-of-stay

    Measured: average time frame expected 3-4 weeks

  3. Antibiotic utilization

    Measured: average time frame expected 3-4 weeks (at discharge from ICU)

  4. Ventilator-associated pneumonia rate

    Measured: at study completion, anticipated 5 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia and Corona Virus Infection, run by Semmelweis University at 1 site in Hungary.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Hungary. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

28-day all-cause mortality (time frame: at study completion, anticipated 5 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 May 2020.
