About this study

Official title: Outcomes of Patients Who Survived Treatment on an Intensive Care Unit for COVID-19 in England and Wales: a Comparative Retrospective Cohort Study (OPTIC-19)

This retrospective cohort study aims to characterise outcomes for patients treated on an intensive care unit (ICU) with COVID-19 in England and Wales, one year after discharge from hospital. Outcomes will be compared with patients admitted as an emergency to an ICU for other conditions. The study will use existing national audit data linked to routine healthcare datasets.

Read the detailed description

Across England and Wales, over 10,000 patients have been treated for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on an intensive care unit. Around 60% survived to leave hospital. It is unknown how survivors' severe COVID-19 infection, or the treatment they received on the intensive care unit, will affect their long-term health. Understanding what happens to these patients can help ensure they receive suitable care from their General Practitioner (GP) and other National Health Service (NHS) services after they leave hospital.

This study will follow up survivors for 1 year after discharge from hospital. The investigators will use data collected by the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre (ICNARC) to identify patients who were treated on an ICU for COVID-19. The investigators will then use NHS data to see whether these patients were readmitted to hospital and why. Information from the Office of National Statistics will identify whether patients died. By linking different sources of patient data, the investigators will estimate the health risks faced by survivors of severe COVID-19. These risks will be compared to those in patients treated on an ICU for other conditions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19 and Myocardial Infarction, run by University of Oxford at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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?

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?

Mortality Rate (time frame: One year). 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 14 Aug 2024.
