Trial summary

The investigators hypothese that lung involvement due to COVID-19 may cause structural changes in the lung in the long term. In this study the effects of structural changes in the lung on pulmonary function tests, exercise capacity and quality of life will be examined. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Long Term Outcomes in Patients With Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) on Pulmonary Functions, Exercise Capacity, Lung Structure and Quality of Life

The investigators hypothese that lung involvement due to COVID-19 may cause structural changes in the lung in the long term. In this study the effects of structural changes in the lung on pulmonary function tests, exercise capacity and quality of life will be examined.

Read the detailed description

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has a clinical spectrum ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe cases requiring intensive care hospitalization due to respiratory failure. The disease mostly infects the lower respiratory tract. Typical computed tomography findings of lung involvement are bilateral, peripherally located ground glass density and consolidations. There is a close relationship between tomography findings and clinical severity. It is not known whether there will be complete recovery in the lungs.

Investigators will evaluate pulmonary structures with chest computed tomography, respiratory capacity with pulmonary function tests (PFTs), exercise capacity with six minutes walk test and quality of life with short form-36 (SF-36) im patients who survivors of COVID-19 at least 6 months after hospital discharge.

What is being measured

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

  1. Structural Change in Lung

    Chest Computed Tomography

    Measured: up to 6 months after discharge

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO)

    Carbon monoxide diffusion capacity of the lung

    Measured: up to 6 months after discharge

  2. Exercise Capacity

    Six Minutes Walking Test

    Measured: up to 6 months after discharge

  3. Short Form Health Survey Score (SF-16)

    A 36-item patient-reported questionnaire that covers eight health domains: physical functioning (10 items), bodily pain (2 items), role limitations due to physical health problems (4 items), role limitations due to personal or emotional problems (4 items), emotional well-being (5 items), social functioning (2 items), energy/fatigue (4 items), and general health perceptions (5 items). Scores for each domain range from 0 to 100, with a higher score defining a more favorable health state

    Measured: up to 6 months after discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19, run by Izmir Dr Suat Seren Chest Diseases and Surgery Education and Research 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 14 Sep 2021. 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?

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?

Structural Change in Lung (time frame: up to 6 months after discharge). 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 14 Sep 2021.
