Risk Factors and Prognoses in Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19
Risk Factors and Prognoses in Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19
Multicenter and observational study. The study will include patients admitted to hospitals in the Lleida health region with confirmed COVID-19. Follow-up will be carried out up to six months after hospital discharge.
Through the analysis of clinical data and biological parameters, it is possible to identify in advance patients who will evolve in an unfavorable prognosis in relation to COVID-19, either because they present criteria of severe disease or because they present thrombotic complications associated with the disease. The final aim is to make anticipated and individualized therapeutic decisions that reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with the disease.
The main objective is to develop a predictive model of adverse events in hospitalized COVID-19 patients (death, initiation of mechanical ventilation, ICU admission and thrombotic event). An additional analyses will be performed for each individualized outcome.
Metodology: Prospective case-only study. The variables that will be collected are:
Previous epidemiological data of the patient.
Clinical and biological data and treatment upon admission to the hospital.
Clinical and biological evolutionary data (Increases in the values of certain biological variables in a defined period of time (> 48 h) during admission):
Clinical evolutionary data of final outcomes, including death (at 30, 90 days and at 6 months), initiation of mechanical ventilation, ICU admission and thrombotic event.
For future studies of new biological and epigenetic variables, blood samples will be collected from hospitalized patients under the CIBER coverage.
