Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Infection on the Incidence of Ventilator-acquired Infections

Observational cohort study aiming at comparing the incidence of ventilator-associated lower respiratory tract infections between COVID-19 patients and two control groups: one with influenza pneumonia and the other with no viral pneumonia.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

COVAPID is a multicenter cohort study with two retrospective control groups. No intervention will be performed in included patients, only patient characteristics and data on VA-LRTI will be collected.

Patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 community-acquired pneumonia, admitted to the participating ICUs from the start of COVID epidemic will be eligible for this study. Those admitted before the beginning of this study will be included retrospectively, and those admitted after the beginning of the study will be included prospectively. 10-20 patients per center will be included in this group. SARSCoV2 infection will be confirmed by a nasopharyngeal PCR or respiratory secretions (tracheal aspirate or bronchoalveolar lavage) PCR. Two retrospective groups will be constituted in order to give some insight of potential impact of SARS-CoV2 infection on the incidence of VALRTI :1) Influenza group : patients with influenza (A or B) community-acquired pneumonia. All patients with influenza community acquired pneumonia and admitted in the same ICU will be eligible in this group.

The number of patients included in this group per center will be similar as that of patients included in the SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia group (10-20 patients). These consecutive patients will by identified using the files of Virology Lab. The first included patient will be the last of the current influenza season (2019-2020), and others will be taken consecutively back to 2019 of 2018 if necessary. PCR (nasopharyngeal or respiratory secretions) confirmation of influenza (A ou B) is required for patients in this group. 2) No viral infection group: patients with no viral community acquired pneumonia. All patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation for more than 48h before COVID epidemic, for any reason other than viral pneumonia are eligible for this group. The number of included patients in this group will be similar as that of patients included in the SARS-CoV-2 group in the same center (10-20 patients) These consecutive patients will be included starting at the end of January 2020 and going back to 2019 if necessary. VAT and VAP are defined using clinical, radiological and quantitative microbiological criteria.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cumulative incidence of ventilator-associated lower respiratory tract infection
Time Frame: from day 3 of mechanical ventilation to extubation or day 28 post-intubation.
the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia and ventilator associated tracheobronchitis
from day 3 of mechanical ventilation to extubation or day 28 post-intubation.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cumulative incidence of ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis
