What is being measured

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

  1. The correlation between the peak of COVID-19 transmission and the popularity of related online terms

    The correlation between the peak of COVID-19 transmission and the popularity of related online terms

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  2. Symptom incidence

    According to the questionnaire survey of 748 patients, the incidence of hearing loss, tinnitus, ear tightness, earache, vertigo or other cognitive and emotional problems after COVID-19 was analyzed.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  3. Pure tone average

    According to the WHO grading standard of hearing loss in 1980, the average pure tone threshold (PTA) of 0.5k, 1k, 2k and 4kHz in better ears was defined as normal hearing, 26-40 dB HL(hearing level) was defined as mild hearing loss, and 41-55 dB HL was defined as moderate hearing loss. 56-70 dB HL was moderate to severe hearing loss, 71-90 dB HL was severe hearing loss, and ≥91 dB HL was extremely severe hearing loss.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  4. Mini-Mental State Examination score and grade

    There are 30 points in the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale. The score of 27-30 is normal, and 21-26 is mild dementia. 10-20 is moderate dementia; On a scale of 0 to 9, dementia is severe

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  5. Montreal Cognitive Assessment score and grade

    The total score of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale is 30 points, generally ≥26 points normal, 18-26 points mild cognitive impairment, 10-17 points moderate cognitive impairment, and < 10 points severe cognitive impairment.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  6. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Interview score and grade

    Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Scale total scores 21 points. A score of 0-5 indicates good sleep quality; A score of 6-10 indicates good sleep quality; 11-15 points, indicating average sleep quality; A score of 16 to 21 indicates poor sleep quality

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  7. Hamilton depression score and grade

    For the 24th version of Hamilton depression Scale (HAMD), the total score > 35 May indicate severe depression; 21-35, may be mild to moderate depression; 9-20, suspected depression; < 8 indicates normal.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

  8. Resting state of Electroencephalogram data

    Electroencephalogram (EEG) data of the study were preprocessed and trends in functional brain network connectivity were analyzed.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID-19 and Cognitive Decline, run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 28 Mar 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 China. 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?

The correlation between the peak of COVID-19 transmission and the popularity of related online terms (time frame: through study completion, an average of 3 months). The study lists 8 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 28 Mar 2023.
