About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Diabetes Among Hospitalized Patients With Covid-19 in West of Algeria. Identification of Diabetes-related Associated Factors Severe Forms

By Jan 7, 2020, Chinese scientists had isolated a novel coronavirus, from patients with virus-infected pneumonia. The WHO designated later this virus as COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). This exponential pandemic coronavirus infection is responsible for severe forms in 15 to 20%, for critical ill requiring ventilation in 5% and for mortality in 2%. Algeria was part of the 13 top priority countries identified by WHO based on their direct links and volume of travel to the infected provinces in China.

It is known that some predisposing conditions lead to a worse outcome with coronavirus.

In China, the overall case-fatality rate was 2.3%, but was higher in patients with diabetes (7.3%). In Italy, the most common comorbidities associated with death from COVID-19 were hypertension (73.8%) and diabetes (33.9%). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests diabetes is the most common comorbidity in COVID-19 cases. In the largest cohort NHS England study, death from COVID-19 was strongly associated with uncontrolled diabetes (after full adjustment, HR 2.36).

The West Algerian CORODIAB-13 study aims is (1) to assess the prevalence of diabetes among hospitalized patients with Covid-19, (2) to describe the phenotypic characteristics of patients with diabetes, and (3) to identify the parameters specific to the diabetic which are associated with severe forms.

In the future, this study will provide answers for two main questions

  1. Why diabetics are more at risk of developing Covid-19 infection?
  2. Why diabetics are at high risk of developing severe forms?

What participants receive

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

  • MANAGEMENT OF COVID-19Drug

    Also called MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES

    MANAGEMENT OF COVID-19 Oxygen therapy to maintain SpO2 target more than 94%. Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) at preventive doses. Empirical antibiotic treatment.

    Specific treatment for COVID-19 (approved by Algerian Ministry of Health) First line: Hydroxychloroquin: 200 mg oral three times a day for 10 days, with association of Azithromycin 250 mg oral : 500 mg the first day and 250 mg once a day for 4 days. Sulfate de Zinc : 220 mg once a day for 5 days. Second line: Lopinavir/ritonavir capsule 200 mg/50 mg, oral 2 capsules each times, twice a day during 5 to 7 days.

    IF AGGRAVATION OR CRITICAL ILL CONDITION AT PRESENTATION Increase oxygenation flow. Consider Glucocorticoids. 3. Consider the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and treat with LMWH at therapeutic doses.

    MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES Discontinue metformin. Start or adjust insulin doses according to personalized glycemic target of patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of diabetes among all hospitalized COVID-19

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Diabetes-related factors risk

    Describe the clinical and biological characteristics of hospitalized subjects with diabetes and COVID-19

    Measured: 3 months

An observational study of Coronavirus Infections and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Laboratoire De Recherche Sur Le Diabete, Université de Tlemcen at 1 site in Algeria.

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 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 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 Algeria. 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?

Prevalence of diabetes among all hospitalized COVID-19 (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Jun 2020.
