About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Prevalence and Clinical Manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in a Population of Adult and Pediatric Patients With Congenital Heart Disease Not Treated Surgically, and in a Population of Pediatric Patients With Cardiomyopathy, Arrhythmic Pathology, or Pulmonary Hypertension

The goal of this observational study, drug-free, cross-sectional, single-center is to describe the incidence and characteristics of the clinical course and any short- and medium-term complications of patients with congenital heart disease of medical interest, and pediatric patients with cardiomyopathy, arrhythmic pathology or pulmonary arterial hypertension who have been affected by Sars-Cov-2 disease. The secondary objective of the study is to identify risk factors for the development of moderate-severe forms of COVID-19 disease in the study population.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational, drug-free, cross-sectional, single-centre study. All patients followed at our centre and suffering from congenital heart disease treated with only haemodynamic procedures haemodynamic procedures alone, as well as paediatric patients suffering from cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension or arrhythmic pathology whose follow-up was still in progress at the time of the start of the pandemic (due to death or for reasonsof the patient). The structural collection of data necessary for the evaluation of targets will take place through the creation of a specific electronic archive, in which census of all patients who have undergone follow-up at our centre since 01/01/2005 at the time of study approval and still in follow-up at the time of the start of the pandemic.

Patients of all ages will be enrolled age, both paediatric and adult, followed at our centre. It is estimated to include in the study approximately 5000 patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection evaluation

    The presence of ongoing SARS-CoV-2 infection will be defined as detection of viral RNA to a molecular swab or the detection of specific antigen at an antigenic swab, while the presence of previous infection will be defined as the presence of seroconversion for SARS-CoV-2 at a quantitative serological test. Severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection will be defined at different forms:

    • Severe form: Admission to intensive care unit, need for invasive respiratory support, death
    • Moderate form: Need for hospitalization or home oxygen therapy, or Worsening of oxygen dependence in patients on chronic home oxygen therapy.
    • Mild form: Symptomatic patients who do not meet the criteria for moderate or severe disease.
    • Asymptomatic form: Patients with infection positivity who do not have symptoms of disease.

    The patients' medical history and clinical data, as reported in the questionnaire, will be evaluated to look for possible risk factors for the development of severe forms of COVID-19 disease.

    Measured: Upon completion of the questionnaire by patient on day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Heart Disease and Cardiomyopathy, run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna 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 4 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 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?

Severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection evaluation (time frame: Upon completion of the questionnaire by patient on day 1). 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 20 Jan 2025.
