Study summary

This study will determine the outcomes of anatomic lung resections in patients who recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease by describing the morbidity and mortality as well as the length of postoperative hospital stay.

Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted at the Lung Center of the Philippines. The study design is a retrospective case series implemented via chart review. Online and written patient records will be reviewed to determine the baseline patient characteristics and the preoperative outcomes. Patients who recovered from COVID-19 will be selected from those who underwent anatomic lung resection from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2022. This study will be done in accordance with the Helsinky Declaration and Good Clinical Practice Guidelines, and will be subject for approval of the institutional Ethics and Technical Review Boards. Descriptive statistics will be used to describe patient characteristics and perioperative outcomes.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Mortality rate

    proportion of patients who died due to perioperative complications

    Time frame: perioperative period (up to 30 days after anatomic lung resection)

  2. Major complication rate

    proportion of patients who develop acute kidney injury, acute myocardial infarction, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute respiratory failure, atelectasis requiring intervention, bronchopleural fistula, empyema thoracis, hemothorax, pneumonia, stroke or venous thromboembolism

    Time frame: perioperative period (up to 30 days after anatomic lung resection)

  3. Minor complication rate

    proportion of patients who develop atrial fibrillation, pneumothorax or prolonged air leak

    Time frame: perioperative period (within 30 days after anatomic lung resection)

  4. Length of postoperative hospital stay

    time duration from surgery to discharge order

    Time frame: perioperative period (up to 30 days after anatomic lung resection)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 9, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
