Trial summary

More than half of the Dutch population is overweight or obese, which is associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 and worse outcomes during a COVID-19 infection. In addition, malnutrition and loss of muscle mass are often reported with COVID-19, as well as with cancer and other diseases. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: SCreening fOr Malnutrition and Obesity in Patients With COVID-19 and Other Diseases

More than half of the Dutch population is overweight or obese, which is associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 and worse outcomes during a COVID-19 infection. In addition, malnutrition and loss of muscle mass are often reported with COVID-19, as well as with cancer and other diseases. Malnutrition and overweight or obesity can coexist, even within the same individual. It is still unclear which mechanisms contribute to the worse outcomes of COVID-19 and other diseases in case of overweight, malnutrition, and a combination of both. The aim of this study is to identify which parameters are associated with worse disease outcomes through literature research and database research (COVID-19 and cancer, more than 150.000 participants). In addition, a clinical study will be conducted aiming to develop a simple screening tool for the recognition of the coexistence of malnutrition and overweight or obesity in clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

Overweight and malnutrition are both common and have a significant societal impact as well as a negative effect on healthcare. They can also coexist, and may potentially reinforce each other. How the combination of both influences the course of COVID-19 and other diseases is still largely unknown. There is no simple set of parameters yet available to screen for the simultaneous occurrence of overweight and malnutrition.

This project has the following objectives:

  • To evaluate the nutritional status (malnutrition, overweight, and the combination of both) and the (dietary) treatment of patients with COVID-19 in primary care (WP1).
  • To assess the influence of various parameters of malnutrition and overweight and their effects on the outcomes of COVID-19 and cancer based on literature and data from existing Dutch cohorts (WP2 and WP3).

Based on this, to develop a screening tool for malnutrition in overweight; (WP4).

  • Dissemination of the results (WP5).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Overweight and Obese Adults and Malnutrition or Risk of Malnutrition, run by HAN University of Applied Sciences at 3 sites in Netherlands.

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 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Netherlands. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Marian A de van der Schueren, PhD (+31-024-353-0500, marian.devanderschueren@han.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Malnutrition (time frame: 9 months). 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 8 Nov 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
