About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Safety and Outcomes of Outpatient Management With Mild to Moderate COVID-19 Pneumonia (PneumoCoV-Ambu)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the strategy of investigators for outpatients SARS-CoV-2 moderate pneumonia management in terms of efficacy and patient safety. The investigators ultimate goal is to validate first wave management strategy in order to support the investigators future approach in the event of a second wave, and spare the hospital resources by safely keeping at home as many patients as possible.

Read the detailed description

The investigators focused on participants consulting in the emergency department at the HUG who remained in an outpatient setting, with pneumonia and moderate illness, defined by individuals who have evidence of lower respiratory disease by clinical assessment or imaging and a saturation of oxygen (SaO2) >93% on room air and no other hospitalization criteria (CURB 65 score below 2points).

For patients' follow-up, the investigators have created an aftercare ambulatory unit, open 5/7 days. The investigators were able to conduct 64 consultations between April 2 and May 5, 2020. Every participant had suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 pulmonary tract infection.

The follow-up data was entered into DPI (patient's medical record at HUG) on a specific consultation form. Patients followed in the investigators consultation were contacted between 30 and 60 days after diagnosis by the Covicare team. The Covicare team is call-center composed of medical students and primary care physicians who remotely followed patients with COVID-19 by calling them by phone or telemedicine every day or every other day depending on patients' needs and health status. The investigators will export data from RedCap concerning post-hospitalization, satisfaction survey on our care and oral consent for use of data (ARGOS study CCER number 2020-01273).

    Data collected with a cohorte of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia in an outpatient basis

What is being measured

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

  1. Secondary hospitalization(s) or death COVID-19 related

    Measured: 30 to 60 days from diagnosis

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. severity of COVID-19 disease

    severity of COVID-19 disease on a 7-points ordinal scale (1: not hospitalized, no limitation of activities; 2: not hospitalized, limitation of activities; 3: hospitalized, not requiring supplementary oxygen; 4: hospitalized, requiring supplementary oxygen; 5: hospitalized, on non-invasive mechanical ventilation; 6: hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO; 7: death),

    Measured: 30 to 60 days from diagnosis

  2. patient satisfaction with management strategies

    Satisfaction Survey of outpatient management

    Measured: 30 to 60 days from diagnosis

  3. Saved costs

    estimation of saved costs compared with a strategy of hospitalization of all COVID-19 related pneumonia cases.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19 and Pneumonia, run by University Hospital, Geneva at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 2 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 9 Sep 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 Switzerland. 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?

Secondary hospitalization(s) or death COVID-19 related (time frame: 30 to 60 days from diagnosis). 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 9 Sep 2020.
