Trial summary

In most diseases, older people have less typical symptomatology than that described for younger people. The investigators therefore hypothesize that within the framework of coronavirus disease 19, the clinical pictures in the elderly will present specificities that will need to be described.

About this study

Official title: Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in a Population Aged 70 Years or Older on Loss of Autonomy

In most diseases, older people have less typical symptomatology than that described for younger people. The investigators therefore hypothesize that within the framework of coronavirus disease 19, the clinical pictures in the elderly will present specificities that will need to be described. Moreover, since infection by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) virus is new to humans, the investigators do not yet have sufficient information on the fate of the elderly, in terms of loss of autonomy, rehospitalization, institutionalization, mortality, etc. the investigators therefore assume that the clinical pictures in the elderly will present specificities that will need to be described. The investigators hypothesize that an acute infection of this type will have short-, medium-, and long-term repercussions in the elderly.

Read the detailed description

The question of the outcome of elderly populations in the immediate aftermath of the epidemic and at a distance from it are essential to measure the effectiveness of the medical care that has been undertaken, but also to adapt the response to the specific problems of the elderly population. It is likely that the older, more fragile population will take longer to recover from the epidemic than the younger population because their functional reserves prior to coronavirus disease 19 are lower. In addition, the possible consequences of containment must be added to the burden of co-morbidities and dependence prior to the epidemic. Containment is synonymous with a restriction in social relationship, and sometimes a reduction in the support provided on a daily basis to frail or even dependent elderly people. Moreover, containment alone may be responsible for the onset or worsening of pathologies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Loss of autonomy

    Loss of autonomy (based on the variation of activity of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living score, and new formal or informal help)

    Measured: 36 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Hospital readmission

    Any new hospitalization not scheduled during follow-up. We we will also study early re-hospitalizations (occurring within 30 days or less).

    Measured: 1 month follow-up

  2. Nursing home admission

    for non-institutionalized persons at inclusion) by a change of residence, from the usual place of residence to a lodging establishment for people dependent elderly, or to a long-term care unit

    Measured: 36 months

  3. All-cause mortality

    Death considered will be those occurring between inclusion and the end of follow-up

    Measured: Inclusion and 36 months

  4. change in self-rated health

    Self-rated health will be rated as: very good, good bad, very bad. The transition during monitoring to a less favorable modality than that announced at inclusion will be considered as a perceived deterioration in health

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of SARS-CoV 2, run by University Hospital Center of Martinique at 5 sites in 3 countries.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France, Guadeloupe, Martinique. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of time to realize the research). 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?

Loss of autonomy (time frame: 36 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 20 Jul 2023.
