About this study

Official title: Clinical Features of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Units of Academic Hospital of L'Aquila (Italy)

The data were retrospectively collected during the first and the second wave of epidemic in COVID-19 patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, at the moment of intensive care unit admission and during the in intensive care unit staying.

Read the detailed description

At the moment of intensive care unit admission and during the in intensive care unit staying, the following data were collected: peripheral lymphocyte subsets were measured by multiple-color flow cytometry, chest computed tomography and ultrasonography scans, arterial blood gas parameters (pH, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, partial pressure of oxygen, concentration of hydrogen carbonate, base excess, and arterial oxygen saturation), and pain assessed by using numeric rating scale.

    The data were collected during the first and the second wave of epidemic in COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. At the moment of hospitalization, at the moment of intensive care unit admission and during the in intensive care unit staying, the following data were collected: peripheral lymphocyte subsets were measured by multiple-color flow cytometry, chest computed tomography and ultrasonography scans (lung ultrasound score, diaphragmatic thickness and motion), arterial blood gas analysis parameters (pH, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, partial pressure of oxygen, concentration of hydrogen carbonate, base excess, and arterial oxygen saturation ), and pain assessed by using numeric rating scale. Macroscopic and microscopic hypopharynx and larynx damages were also evaluated by video-laryngoscopy and light miscoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peripheral lymphocyte subsets

    Peripheral lymphocyte subsets were measured by multiple-color flow cytometry,

    Measured: Change from date of hospitalization until the date of hospital discharge or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed at 60 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Chest computed tomography

    A chest computed tomography performed to assess lung damage

    Measured: From date of hospitalization until the date of hospital discharge or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed every 10 days up to 60 weeks

  2. Chest ultrasonography

    Lung ultrasound score (sum of points in all 12 regions and ranges from 0 to 36; 0 points-presence of lung sliding with A lines or one or two isolated B lines; 1 point-moderate loss of lung aeration with three or four B lines (septal rockets); 2 points-severe loss of lung aeration with five or more B lines (glass rockets); and 3 points-presence of a hypoechoic poorly defined tissue characterized by consolidation)

    Measured: From date of hospitalization until the date of hospital discharge or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed every day up to 60 weeks

  3. Pain assessment

    Pain assessed by using numeric rating scale (the 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme [e.g. "no pain"] to '10' representing the other pain extreme [e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable])

    Measured: From date of hospitalization until the date of hospital discharge or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed every day up to 60 weeks

  4. Upper airway damages

    Macroscopic and microscopic hypopharynx and larynx damages evaluated by video-laryngoscopy and light microscopy

    Measured: From date of hospitalization until the date of hospital discharge or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed every day up to 60 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19 and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by San Salvatore Hospital of L'Aquila at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Nov 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

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?

Peripheral lymphocyte subsets (time frame: Change from date of hospitalization until the date of hospital discharge or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed at 60 weeks). 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 27 Nov 2023.
