About this study

Official title: Rehabilitation After Admission in Intensive Care Unit for COVID-19: an Observational Study

France and especially the region "Grand Est" have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The first affected patients gradually began leaving the hospitalization sector and some of them required rehabilitation before returning home.

Because it has only been studied for few months, COVID 19 possible impairment remain unknown, especially in patients who required admission in ICU and needed rehabilitation.

In order to better understand the impact of the disease, the investigators wish to carry out a descriptive analysis of hospitalized patient in rehabilitation center for Post-Covid-19 rehabilitation after ICU.

The purpose of this study was to describe the impairments and functional independency in patients addressed to a rehabilitation center after an ICU stay for COVID 19 and to explore the factors associated with their evolution.

What is being measured

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

  1. Functional Independence measure (FIM) at the admission

    The FIM is an 18-item clinician-reported scale that assesses function in six areas including self-care, continence, mobility, transfers, communication and cognition. Each of the 18 items is graded on a scale of 1-7 based on level of independence in that item (1=total assistance required, 7=complete independence).

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Functional Independence measure (FIM) 1-month hospitalization

    The FIM is an 18-item clinician-reported scale that assesses function in six areas including self-care, continence, mobility, transfers, communication and cognition. Each of the 18 items is graded on a scale of 1-7 based on level of independence in that item (1=total assistance required, 7=complete independence).

    Measured: Day 30

  3. Functional Independence measure (FIM) at the discharge

    The FIM is an 18-item clinician-reported scale that assesses function in six areas including self-care, continence, mobility, transfers, communication and cognition. Each of the 18 items is graded on a scale of 1-7 based on level of independence in that item (1=total assistance required, 7=complete independence).

    Measured: Day 180

Secondary outcomes (27)
  1. weight at admission

    weight of the patient

    Measured: Day 1

  2. weight at the discharge

    weight of the patient after hospitalization

    Measured: Day 180

  3. age

    age of the patient at the admission in rehabilitation center

    Measured: Day 1

  4. Estimated functional independence measure score before Covid-19

    The FIM is an 18-item clinician-reported scale that assesses function in six areas including self-care, continence, mobility, transfers, communication and cognition. Each of the 18 items is graded on a scale of 1-7 based on level of independence in that item (1=total assistance required, 7=complete independence). Estimating the functional independence score before the disease.

    Measured: Day 1

  5. Estimated dyspnea symptoms before Covid-19

    The modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale is a self-rating tool to measure the degree of disability that breathlessness poses on day-to-day on a scale from 0 to 4 (0= no breathlessness except on strenuous exercise and 4= too breathless to leave the house, or breathless when dressing or undressing).

    Measured: Day 1

  6. Length of stay in ICU unit

    Length of stay in ICU unit for Covid-19

    Measured: Day 180

  11. Risk of bedsore

    Risk of bedsore with the Braden scale. The Braden score consists of six subscales (sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition and friction/shear) representing the most commonly occuring risk factors for pressure ulcers and is scored from 6 to 23, with lower scores representing higher risk of developing pressure ulcers.

    Measured: Day 1

  12. Joint limitation

    Presence of joint limitation during the management

    Measured: Day 1

  13. Dominant side

    Dominant side of the patient

    Measured: Day 1

  14. Presence of psychic disorders

    Presence of psychic disorders like delirium, sleep disorders, anxiety, sadness of mood, loss of appetite, suicidal thoughts, asking for psychologist care during the stay

    Measured: Day 180

  15. Muscle strength at the admission

    Muscle strength examination according to Medical Research Council muscle strength scale. This scale involves testing key muscles from the upper and lower extremities against the examiner's resistance and grading the patient's strength on a 0 to 5 scale with 0= no muscle activation and 5= muscle activation against examiner's full resistance, full range of motion.

    Measured: Day 1

  16. Muscle strength at the discharge

    Muscle strength examination according to Medical Research Council muscle strength scale. This scale involves testing key muscles from the upper and lower extremities against the examiner's resistance and grading the patient's strength on a 0 to 5 scale with 0= no muscle activation and 5= muscle activation against examiner's full resistance, full range of motion.

    Measured: Day 180

  17. Dyspnea symptoms at the admission

    Dyspnea symptoms according to the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale. The mMRC is a self-rating tool to measure the degree of disability that breathlessness poses on day-to-day on a scale from 0 to 4 (0= no breathlessness except on strenuous exercise and 4= too breathless to leave the house, or breathless when dressing or undressing

    Functional exercise capacity measured by a 6 minutes Walking test

    Measured: Day 1

  20. Destination of patients at discharge

    Destination of patients at discharge from rehabilitation center. For the destination there is 4 possibility: the return home, institutionalization, re-hospitalization or other (specify where).

    Measured: Day 180

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional Metz-Thionville at 3 sites in France.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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?

Functional Independence measure (FIM) at the admission (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Sep 2022.
