NCT05825651
The Peking University Health Cohort in Anning, Yunnan (PKUHC-AN) is a prospective cohort study carried out in Anning, Yunnan. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on older adults' health, and to provide high-quality evidence of real world research for the optimization of prevention and control strategies of COVID-19 and other emerging infectious diseases. Data will be collected regarding health status, history of COVID-19 infections and vaccines, lifestyle and socioeconomic characteristics, as well as the short- and long-term health outcomes.
NCT04436991
In this pilot study, we will investigate whether - with the current dosing regimens, used in the Ghent University Hospital - pharmacodynamic targets regarding beta-lactam antibiotics (more specific Amoxicilline-Clavulanate, Piperacillin-Tazobactam and Temocillin) are attained in frail patients admitted to the geriatric department.
NCT04062799
The objective is to evaluate if the immune risk phenotype (IRP) in patients who have been admitted for pneumonia predisposes to worse long-term outcomes. In addition, the association between the detected immunological alterations and clinical, functional, nutritional or comorbidity risk factors will be evaluated. If the hypothesis is confirmed, helpful immunological markers will be identified. This will be useful in clinical practice to identify patients who can benefit from an intervention and / or to identify the best time for vaccination. Otherwise, valuable information will be obtained on the interrelation between immunological, clinical, functional and nutritional aspects.
NCT04782427
The medical charts of all COVID-19 cases (n=1200) from 17 long-term care facilities in Montreal, Canada will be reviewed, to compare patients who survived to patients who did not survive. Through multilevel logistic regression, the risk of death will be estimated for institutional predictors of mortality, while controlling for individual risk factors. Individual covariates include clinical features (age, sex, Charlston comorbidity index, SMAF autonomy score, severity criteria) and medical treatments (IV fluids, anticoagulation, oxygen, regular opiates, corticosteroids). Aggregate covariates include epidemiological data (attack rates, timing of outbreak) and institutional characteristics (number of beds, air exchange per hour, presence of a dedicated COVID-19 unit at the time of outbreak, staff compliance to infection control measures, staff infection rates, understaffing, proportion of semi-private rooms, proportion of wandering wards and other special units).
NCT03087747
In a setting of acute cholecystitis (AC) one of the treatment option is percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTHC) drainage. The goal of current study is to evaluate some radiology aspects and correlate with clinical patient outcomes in patients with acute cholecystitis severity grade III (presented as acute cholecystitis with organ dysfunction).
NCT04385212
In December 2019, the first patients infected with the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) were diagnosed in Wuhan. The clinical presentation and course of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is poorly understood in older patients and is certainly different from the general population. This project is designed to better understand and to determine clinical, biological and radiological markers of poor adverse outcomes in hospitalized older patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
NCT03292744
Vitamin D has been known to influence immune response through Vitamin D Receptor in Immune Cells, but only few has been known about the effect alfacalcidol, a vitamin D analog to immune system. In elderly, immune disregulation or immunosenecence have great impact to infection response. This study is aimed to determine the effect of alfacalcidol supplementation in vitro and in vivo to respiratory infection incidence and inflammatory markers, as well as T cell lymphocyte subset in Indonesian elderly patients.
