About this study

Official title: Ain Shams University Experience: Clinical Characteristics and Outcome Determinants of Hospitalized Covid-19 Patients at Ain Shams University Obour Hospital

COVID-19 as a novel disease, different disease patterns were observed worldwide, and many treatment plans were tried. So, it is important to investigate the Egyptian clinical characteristics and different factors that determine the patient's 'outcome

Read the detailed description

Investigators will convey the Ain Shams University experience as the first university in Egypt to designate one of its hospitals (Ain Shams University Obour Hospital) for management of confirmed COVID19 cases. investigators will try to identify the characteristics of the disease as regards the clinical, laboratory and imaging abnormalities and to assess the outcome determinants. It is a retrospective observational cohort study at Ain Shams University Obour Hospital. All adult patients from both sexes with positive nucleic acid testing for severe adult respiratory syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)will be included.

Clinical criteria, laboratory data, radiological findings, hospital course and patient outcome will be anonymously collected from records.

What participants receive

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

  • Lab workup (on admission and regularly during follow up).Diagnostic test

    Also called culture, imaging

    Complete blood count with differential leucocytic count. Absolute lymphocytic and neutrophilic count. Liver functions: Aspartate transaminase and Alanine transaminase . Renal functions: Blood urea nitrogen, serum Creatinine. HbA1C. C-reactive protein (quantitative). Serum ferritin level. D - dimer level (quantitative). Coagulation profile (Prothrombin time/ Partial thromboplastin time/ International normalized ratio).

    Troponin level. Arterial blood gases when needed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recovery

    Recovery defined as resolution of fever without the use of antipyretics, improvement of respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, dyspnea) and no need for supplemental oxygen

    Measured: Until patient is discharged or up to 12 weeks whichever comes first

  2. Mortality

    All cause mortality

    Measured: Until patient is discharged or up to 12 weeks whichever comes first

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Conversion of nucleic acid testing for SARS-CoV-2 from positive to negative.

    Detected by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test for nasopharyngeal swab

    Measured: Until patient is discharged or up to 12 weeks whichever comes first

  2. Radiological progression of the COVID 19 disease

    detected by measuring the extent of pulmonary lesion in high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest

    Measured: Until patient is discharged or up to 12 weeks whichever comes first

  3. Functional progression of the COVID 19 disease

    increase oxygen demands detected by arterial blood gases analysis and/or pulse oximeter

    Measured: Until patient is discharged or up to 12 weeks whichever comes first
