About this study

Official title: Quality of Life 1y and 2 y After VV-ECMO for COVID-19, Measured by the 36-item Short Form Health Survey

This study aims to investigate the quality of life and the outcome after veno-venous extracoporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support fir severe acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 patients.

Read the detailed description

The investigators follow our COVID-19 patients supported by ECMO, we make phone calls or real-life visits to pthe patients to score the quality of life, by using the SF-36. The SF-36 measures eight scales: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality , social functioning , role emotional , and mental health.

The participants are contacted 3 months, 6months, 1year and 2 years after the ECMO support started for evaluation of the SF-36.

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

  1. in-hospital mortality

    Measured: mortality during hospitalisation, up to two years

  2. Quality of life 1y after ECMO insertion

    Result of SF-36 1 year after VV-ECMO insertion

    Measured: 1 year

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Lung complications requiring surgical treatment

    Hemothorax or lung abcedation

    Measured: From the start of VV-ECMO support until weaning of VV-ECMO, up to two years

  2. Duration of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: 2 years

  3. LOS ICU

    length of stay at the intensive care unit

    Measured: from the day of intensive care unit admission until the day of transfer to the ward, up to two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Complication, run by University Hospital, Ghent at 1 site in Belgium.

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.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. 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?

in-hospital mortality (time frame: mortality during hospitalisation, up to two years). 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 25 Apr 2024.
