Trial summary

Critically ill patients with COVID-19 have hospitalized in an ICU due to the closer monitoring and therapy. In fact, ICU admissions are dependent on the severity of illness and the ICU capacity of the health-care system. Hence, it may be need a new scoring system for contagious critically ill patients.

About this study

Official title: Clinical Characteristics of Critically Ill Patients With 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19): Do We Need a New Triage System?

Critically ill patients with COVID-19 have hospitalized in an ICU due to the closer monitoring and therapy. In fact, ICU admissions are dependent on the severity of illness and the ICU capacity of the health-care system. Hence, it may be need a new scoring system for contagious critically ill patients.

Read the detailed description

Critically ill patients with COVID-19 have hospitalized in an ICU due to the closer monitoring and therapy. In fact, ICU admissions are dependent on the severity of illness and the ICU capacity of the health-care system. Therefore, many patients with confirmed COVID-19 with RT-PCR and/or suspected COVID-19 were hospitalized in ICUs with a limited number of beds. This ambiguity can result in both contamination risk to uninfected patients and occupancy rate of the limited ICU beds. Hence, it may be need a new scoring system for contagious critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical features of 75 critically ill patients due to COVID-19 and to compare confirmed COVID-19 cases with suspected COVID-19 cases in our critical care units.

Confirmed COVID-19 casesPatients with PCR test positive were considered as the confirmed COVID-19 cases.
Receives: Other: File Scanning
Suspected COVID-19 casesThe suspected COVID-19 cases were defined as follows: those who were interpreted in favor of the suspected covid-19 on c-CT by radiologists in addition to the typical symptoms of the novel coronavirus disease such as cough, high fever (>38,5 °C), or dyspnea, and those with a history of contact with another confirmed COVID-19 patient in addition to typical symptoms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test

    To compare confirmed COVID-19 cases with suspected COVID-19 cases in critical care units.

    Measured: 5 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. A scoring system for patients to be admitted to the intensive care unit

    To use symptoms, medical history, computed tomography and laboratory examinations for scoring system to detect suspected COVID-19 cases admitted to the intensive care units.

    Measured: 5 days

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?

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test (time frame: 5 days). 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.
