About this study

Official title: Assessment of Lung Functions in Menopausal Obese Women After COVID 19 Recovery

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented considerable challenges to global health services and dictates almost every aspect of medical practice and policy. The menopausal transition may have significant consequences for respiratory health as COVID 19 symptoms subsides, lung function testing should be done to assess the consequences of this virus on lung health especially in menopausal woman.

Read the detailed description

The study group will consist of (40) obese menopausal women whom were recently recovered from mild-moderate COVID 19 for one month. The control group will consist of (40) obese menopausal women; whom will not affected by COVID 19. Using incentive spirometer, we will measure forced vital capacity FVC, forced expiratory volume FEV, Tiffano index TI and peak expiratory force PEF in both groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SpirometryDevice

    Spirometry assesses the integrated mechanical function of the lung, chest wall, respiratory muscles, and airways by measuring the total volume of air exhaled from a full lung (total lung capacity [TLC]) to maximal expiration (residual volume [RV]). This volume, the forced vital capacity (FVC) and the forced expiratory volume in the first second of the forceful exhalation (FEV1), should be repeatable to within 0.15 L upon repeat efforts in the same measurement unless the largest value for either parameter is less than 1 L. In this case, the expected repeatability is to within 0.1 L of the largest value.

What is being measured

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

  1. Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1)

    is a measurement of your ability to expel air from your lungs. More specifically, and as its name suggests, it is the amount that is exhaled in the first second of purposefully trying to breathe out as much air as possible.

    Measured: FEV1 will be measured after 1 month post COVID19 recovery.

  2. forced vital capacity (FVC)

    is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test.

    Measured: FVC will be measured after 1 month post COVID19 recovery.

  3. FEV1/FVC ratio

    The FEV1/FVC ratio, also called Tiffeneau-Pinelli index, is a calculated ratio used in the diagnosis of obstructive and restrictive lung disease. It represents the proportion of a person's vital capacity that they are able to expire in the first second of forced expiration to the full, forced vital capacity.

    Measured: FEV1/FVC ratio will be measured after 1 month post COVID19 recovery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Function Decreased and Obesity, run by Badr University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 4 Nov 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 Egypt. 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?

Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) (time frame: FEV1 will be measured after 1 month post COVID19 recovery.). 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 4 Nov 2021.
