About this study

Official title: Assessment of Health-related Quality of Life and Long-term Outcomes After Hospitalization for COVID-19: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

The present study aims to assess the determinants of health-related quality of life and long-term outcomes among survivors of hospitalization for Covid-19 in Brazil. The investigators will conduct a multicenter prospective cohort study nested in randomized clinical trials (coalition Covid-19 Brazil initiative) originally designed to assess the effects of specific Covid-19 treatments. Adult survivors of hospitalization due to proven or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection will be followed up for a period of one year by means of structured telephone interviews. The primary outcome is one-year health-related quality of life assessed by the EQ-5D-3L. Secondary outcomes include all-cause mortality, rehospitalizations, return to work or study, physical functional status assessed by the Lawton \& Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale, dyspnea assessed by the modified medical research council dyspnea scale, need of long-term ventilatory support, symptoms of anxiety and depression assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder assessed by the Impact of Event Scale-revised.

What participants receive

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

  • COVID-19 SeverityOther

    Disease severity characterized by the highest six-level ordinal scale during the hospital stay, which consists of the following categories: a score of 1 indicated not hospitalized; 2, hospitalized and not receiving supplemental oxygen; 3, hospitalized and receiving supplemental oxygen; 4, hospitalized and receiving oxygen supplementation administered by a high-flow nasal cannula or noninvasive ventilation; 5, hospitalized and receiving mechanical ventilation; and 6, death

What is being measured

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

  1. One-year utility score of health-related quality of life

    The outcome will be assessed using the Brazilian version of the Euroqol-5D-3L (EQ-5D3L) questionnaire. The utility score derived from the EQ5D-3L ranges from 0 (death) to 1 (perfect health).

    Measured: The outcome will be assessed 12 months after enrollment.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Incidence of all-cause mortality

    Incidence of all-cause mortality.

    Measured: The outcome will be assessed 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after enrollment.

  2. Incidence of rehospitalizations

    Incidence of all-cause rehospitalizations.

    Measured: The outcome will be assessed 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after enrollment.

  3. Percentage of return to work or study

    Percentage of return to work or study among patients that were working or studying at the moment of hospitalization.

    Measured: The outcome will be assessed 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after enrollment.

  4. Score of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living

    The outcome will be assessed using the Lawton \& Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (the score ranges from 0 to 8, with higher scores indicating less dependence).

    Measured: The outcome will be assessed 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after enrollment.

  5. Score of dyspnea

    The outcome will be assessed using the modified medical research council dyspnea scale. Scores ranges from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms.

    Measured: The outcome will be assessed 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after enrollment.

  6. Percentage of long-term ventilatory support need

    Percentage of patients requiring oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation, or mechanical ventilation.

    Measured: The outcome will be assessed 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after enrollment.

  7. Symptoms of anxiety and depression

    The outcome will be assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (anxiety and depression scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms).

    Measured: The outcome will be assessed 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after enrollment.

  8. Symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder

    The outcome will be assessed using the Impact Event Scale-Revised (the score ranges from 0 to 88, with higher scores indicating worse symptoms).

    Measured: The outcome will be assessed 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after enrollment.

  9. Utility score of health-related quality of life at 3, 6, and 9 months

    The outcome will be assessed using the Brazilian version of the Euroqol-5D-3L (EQ-5D3L) questionnaire. The utility score derived from the EQ5D-3L ranges from 0 (death) to 1 (perfect health).

    Measured: The outcome will be assessed 3, 6, and 9 months after enrollment.

  10. Score of self-rated health

    The outcome will be assessed using the visual analogue scale of the Brazilian version of the Euroqol-5D-3L questionnaire (EQ-VAS; score range from o to 100, with higher scores indicating better self-rated health).

    Measured: The outcome will be assessed 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after enrollment.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

One-year utility score of health-related quality of life (time frame: The outcome will be assessed 12 months after enrollment.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04376658, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.
