Trial summary

Patients admitted to the intensive care unit develop psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, which can be prolonged. During the COVID crisis, the presence of relatives in the intensive care unit was reduced and this, in a lasting way. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessment of SARS-CoV-2 Effect on Post-traumatic Stress of Patients Hospitalized in Intensive Care

Patients admitted to the intensive care unit develop psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, which can be prolonged.

During the COVID crisis, the presence of relatives in the intensive care unit was reduced and this, in a lasting way.

The hypothesis is that there is a difference in the experience of the stay in the intensive care unit whether or not one is affected by SARS-CoV-2 and that this difference is likely to have an impact on the long-term outcome of the patients and their relatives.

Read the detailed description

The stay in the ICU is a complex and often traumatic experience for patients. Patients often develop psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder after an ICU stay. These symptoms can be prolonged over time, resulting in a decrease in quality of life and a potential cost in care.

In the epidemic context of the COVID crisis, the presence of family members in the intensive care unit was reduced to its most extreme portion, with sometimes an almost total impossibility of visiting a loved one. This situation, although it has become less strict, has lasted for a long time. The patient can only exchange with them with difficulty, despite the extremely trying situation that is resuscitation. Moreover, there is a stress factor linked to the infectious risk for the relatives and for the relatives with regard to COVID-19, in particular within the framework of family clusters with sometimes several hospitalized subjects within the same family.

Of course, means of communication have been put in place with relatives, but these means do not seem to be equivalent to the presence of one's relatives.

The investigators therefore hypothesize that there is a difference in the experience of the stay in the intensive care unit whether or not one is affected by SARS-CoV-2 and that this difference is likely to have an impact on the long-term outcome of patients and their relatives.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of post-traumatic stress at 1 year

    Prevalence of post-traumatic stress in patients treated in intensive care at 1 year diagnosed with an IES-r> 33 depending on whether they are SARS-CoV-2 positive or not.

    (IES-r: Impact of Event Scale - Revised scale, minimum value: 0, maximum value: 88, higher score indicates a worse outcome)

    Measured: 12 months from hospitalization

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Level of depression at 1 year

    Assessed by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (CES-D, minimum value: 0, maximum value: 60, higher score indicates a worse outcome)

    Measured: 12 months from hospitalization

  2. Perceived interest of the proposed communication tools at 1 year

    Semi-structured interviews

    Measured: 12 months from hospitalization

  3. Level of quality of life at 1 year

    Assessed by EQ-5D (EuroQol 5Dimension scale, minimum value: 0, maximum value: 100, higher score indicates a better outcome)

    Measured: 12 months from hospitalization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intensive Care Unit and SARS-CoV2, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site 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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 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 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?

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?

Prevalence of post-traumatic stress at 1 year (time frame: 12 months from hospitalization). 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 17 May 2021.
