Study summary

Prospective study in a group of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Read the detailed description

Objective:

Assessment of pulmonary and heart dysfunction, fibrosis-related markers and antibodies as well as the search for risk factors for an unfavorable course and possible complications in patients after pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection.

Patients:

A group of approx. 100 patients assessed shortly after pneumonia and followed up, investigated after 3 and 6 months with possible prolongation to 12 months.

Study population

Consecutive patients dicharged after confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia (positive PCR and lung involvement in HRCT, hospitalized)

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection with pneumonia hospitalized
  2. Two negative PCR results of a swab from the respiratory tract in succession, including the last one taken no later than 3 days before the planned lung function tests (1st visit).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Lack of patient consent,
  2. Present for lung function tests
  3. Inability to perform correctly lung function measurements
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in lung transfer factor for carbon monoxide (TL,CO) at 3, 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

    Lung transfer factor for carbon monoxide (TL,CO) will be measured using single breath method, results will be reported as absolute values (mmol/min/kPa)

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

  2. Change from baseline in lung transfer factor for carbon monoxide (TL,CO) at 3, 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

    Lung transfer factor for carbon monoxide (TL,CO) will be measured using single breath method, results will be reported as % of predicted using GLI-2017 references

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

  3. Change from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) at 3, 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

    Forced vital capacity (FVC) will be measured using spirometry according to ATS/ERS 2019 guidelines, results will be reported as absolute values (L)

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

  4. Change from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) at 3, 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

    Forced vital capacity (FVC) will be measured using spirometry according to ATS/ERS 2019 guidelines, results will be reported as % of predicted using GLI-2012 references

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

  5. Change from baseline in forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) at 3, 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

    Forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) will be measured using spirometry according to ATS/ERS 2019 guidelines, results will be reported as absolute values (L)

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

  6. Change from baseline in forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) at 3, 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

    Forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) will be measured using spirometry according to ATS/ERS 2019 guidelines, results will be reported as % of predicted using GLI-2012 references

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

  7. Change from baseline in total lun capacity (TLC) at 3, 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

    Total lung capacity will be measured using body plethysmography method according to ATS/ERS 2005 guidelines, results will be reported as absolute values (L)

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

  8. Change from baseline in total lun capacity (TLC) at 3, 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

    Total lung capacity will be measured using body plethysmography method according to ATS/ERS 2005 guidelines, results will be reported as % of predicted using most recent references

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

  9. Change in prevalence of abnormal (low) lung transfer factor for carbon monoxide (TL,CO) results at 3, 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

    Abnormal (low) lung transfer factor for carbon monoxide (TL,CO) will be identified with cut-off point at the level of 5th percentile (-1.64 SD) using most recent predicted values (GLI-2017), prevalence will be reported as % of investigated group

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

  10. Change in prevalence of obstructive ventilatory impairment at 3, 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

    Obstructive ventilatory impairment (airway obstruction) will be identified with FEV1/FVC ratio below lower limit of normal, cut-off point at the level of 5th percentile (-1.64 SD) will be used with most recent predicted values (GLI-2012), prevalence will be reported as % of investigated group

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

  11. Change in prevalence of restrictive ventilatory impairment at 3, 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

    Restrictive ventilatory impairment will be identified with total lung capacity (TLC) below lower limit of normal, cut-off point at the level of 5th percentile (-1.64 SD) will be used with most recent predicted values, prevalence will be reported as % of investigated group

    Time frame: 0, 3, 6, 12 months after COVID-19 pneumonia

  12. Change in lung structure from the baseline

    Change in lung structure will be assessed using high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) performed at 3, 6 and 12 months after initial investigation. Quantitive assessment of abnormalities will be performed and compared with initial investigation performed during acute phase of COVID-19 pneumonia.

    Time frame: 3, 6, 12 months
