About this study

Official title: Outcomes After Implementation of a Protective Protocol for Covid-19 in Large Spanish Endoscopy Units.

Prospective study evaluating the outcomes of implementation of a protective protocol for Covid-19 for patients and staff in a large endoscopy unit.

Read the detailed description

Detailed description: SARS-Covid-19 virus pandemic has had a big impact both socially and on operation of health facilities. During the Covid-19 outbreak most of the scheduled endoscopies were cancelled and only emergent and urgent endoscopies were performed in the unit. This meant that for six weeks, around 98% of our daily workload was cancelled. During that time the investigators have developed a protocol in order to resume scheduled endoscopic activity in the decreasing phase of the pandemic.

The hypothesis of this prospective observational study is that implementation of a protocol based upon Covid PCR tests and clinical triage is useful to categorize two types of Covid-19 infection risk and two levels of personal protection equipments required.

The primary aim is to evaluate the outcomes of implementing a protective protocol with two levels of protection for Covid-19 in the endoscopy unit. As secondary aims, the investigators, want to evaluate the endoscopy unit staff and patients infection rate after implementation of the protective protocol; and the utility of previous Covid PCR testing and on day clinical triage to discriminate patients before endoscopy.

A brief daily questionnaire will be filled by all the endoscopy unit staff members questioning about type of procedures performed in their allocated endoscopy room, level of protection used and PCR status of their attended patients. Patients will be followed up for a period of two weeks to discard development of Covid-19 disease with possible origin in their visit to the endoscopy unit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid-19 Disease and Endoscopy Unit, run by Fundacion Miguel Servet at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2021. 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 Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Rate of new Covid infection of patients and staff members (time frame: 3 months). 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 8 Sep 2021.
