Trial summary

We hypothesized that diaphragm thickness is concerned in acute respiratory failure of COVID19 patients and its ultrasound measure at the begining of hospitalisation is a good predictor of poor outcome. A prospective observational non intervention study is designed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prognostic Value of Transthoracic Diaphragmatic Echography in COVID-19 Pneumonia Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure

We hypothesized that diaphragm thickness is concerned in acute respiratory failure of COVID19 patients and its ultrasound measure at the begining of hospitalisation is a good predictor of poor outcome.

A prospective observational non intervention study is designed.

Read the detailed description

To answer our hypothesis we will perform diaphragm ultrasound in the first 24hr hospitalized COVID19 patients.

In the ultrasound exploration we will assess diaphragm movility and thickness. We will also assess other clinical, biochemistry and radiological variables. The main outcome we want to analyze is the destination on discharge: home, respiratory intermediate critical unit or exitus.

What is being measured

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

  1. Early diaphragm ultrasound as a predictor factor for invasive and non invasive ventilation and death

    This is the main outcome of our study given that it has a important clinical implications. If we confirm our hypothesis diaphragm ultrasound could prove to be a useful prognosis tool for COVID19 patients.

    Measured: From date of inclusion until discharge date (lenght of hospitalization)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Diaphragm thickness rate as a predictor factor for invasive and non invasive ventilation and death

    Diaphragm strenght is directly related to thickness. The impact of COVID19 infection on this specific measure can predict patient evolution.

    Measured: From date of inclusion until discharge date (lenght of hospitalization)

  2. Diaphragm movility rate as a predictor factor for invasive and non invasive ventilation and death

    Diaphragm fatigability is directly related to movility. The impact of COVID19 infection on this specific measure can predict patient evolution.

    Measured: From date of inclusion until discharge date (lenght of hospitalization)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumonia, Viral and Covid19, run by Javier Lázaro at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 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 10 Apr 2023. 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 Spain. 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?

Early diaphragm ultrasound as a predictor factor for invasive and non invasive ventilation and death (time frame: From date of inclusion until discharge date (lenght of hospitalization)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05805579, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 10 Apr 2023.
