Trial summary

According to various studies Covid 19 pneumonia has a very similar clinical course to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) which has clarified by Berlin definition. Based on this similarity, extracellular fluid of lungs and diffuse alveolar damage should be observed in covid 19 pneumonia as well. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: the Determination of Extracellular Water (ECW) Which is Detected by Bioimpedence Method on Severe and Mild Covid 19 Pneumonia Clinical Course

According to various studies Covid 19 pneumonia has a very similar clinical course to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) which has clarified by Berlin definition. Based on this similarity, extracellular fluid of lungs and diffuse alveolar damage should be observed in covid 19 pneumonia as well. Extracellular water (ECW) can be determine by using whole body bioimpedence system (NİCaS). The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of ECW on the clinical apperence of covid 19 pneumonia clinical course.

Read the detailed description

Increase in the extracellular water of lungs is the major pathophisilogy of ARDS. According to various studies Covid 19 pneumonia has a very similar clinical course to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) which has clarified by Berlin definition. Depending on the similarity of Covid 19 and ARDS; evaluation of ECW ,can be a determinant of clinical apperence of covid19 pneumonia. The aim of this study to find the corelation between ECW and severty of the pneumonia.

In this prospective -controlled research, the patients who were diagnosed with Covid-19 pneumonia will be evaluated. The ones in the intensive care will be considered as severe, and the ones in the ward will be considered as mild clinical course pneumonia. İn both groups, in addition to other heamodynamic parametres, ECW will be recorded using non-invasive body biooimpedence method by NİCaS machine. The total amount of patients will be 52, 26 each two groups.

The ward and intensive care patients will be connected to the NİCaS machine to determine ECW and statistically significantchanges will be recorded. The device consists of a laptop, a software which calculates cardiac parameters and two electrodes. The measurement is done by the following process: one of these electrodes, which looks like ECG electrodes, is stuck to the wrist and the other one to the opposite ankle or each one to two wrists.

the severety of illness will try to be detected.Gpower 3 for Mac Os (Faul, F., Erdfelder, E., Buchner, A., \& Lang, A.-G. (2009). Statistical power analyses using G*Power 3.1: Tests for correlation and regression analyses. Behavior Research Methods, 41, 11491160.) was used for istatistical power analysis.The power analysis was done priorly and based on the T-test.In order to provide enoughsample magnitude power, which is 0.8, it was calculated that each group should have 26 patients which makes at total of 52 Statistical method: The normal distribution of data will be evaluated using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Parametric ones will be used in normal distrubitions, non-parametric ones will be used in abnormal distrubitions. İntergroup ECW values will be compared via independent sample T test. In catagoric data, the comparisons will be made with Pearson Ki square test, and the p values less then 0.05 will be considered as significant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Extracellular Fluid Alteration and Corona Virus Infection, run by Gaziosmanpasa Research and Education Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 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 4 Jun 2020. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ECW (time frame: three measurements with half an hour intervals). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04416009, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 4 Jun 2020.
