Neurologic Manifestations of COVID-19 (CORONA)

July 25, 2020 updated by: Adrian Espiritu, University of the Philippines

COVID-19 Outcomes: A Retrospective Study of Neurological Manifestations and Associated Symptoms (The Philippine CORONA Study)

This study will determine the neurological profile and predictors of outcomes in patients with COVID-19 disease in the Philippines. It will also evaluate if there is significant difference between COVID-19 patients with neurological manifestations compared to those COVID-19 patients without neurological manifestations in terms of various prespecified clinical outcomes. Furthermore, the likelihood of these outcomes in COVID-19 patients with neurological manifestations compared to those without neurological manifestation will be determined in this study.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Detailed Description

This quantitative, retrospective, cohort study will determine the following: 1) demographic, clinical and neurological profile of patients with COVID-19 disease in the Philippines; 2) the frequency of neurological symptoms and new-onset neurological disorders/complications in patients with COVID-19 disease; 3) the neurological manifestations that are significant predictors of mortality, respiratory failure, duration of ventilator dependence, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, length of ICU stay, and length of hospital stay; 4) if there is significant difference between COVID-19 patients with neurological manifestations compared to those COVID-19 patients without neurological manifestations in terms of mortality, respiratory failure, duration of ventilator dependence, ICU admission, length of ICU stay and length of hospital stay; and 5) the likelihood of mortality, respiratory failure and ICU admission in COVID-19 patients with neurological manifestations compared to those without neurological manifestations.

Study Population

Adult patients with confirmed COVID-19 disease

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Cases confirmed by testing approved patient samples (i.e. nasal swabs, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) employing the real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from COVID-19 testing centers accredited by the DOH;
  • adult patients at least 19 years of age;
  • male or female;
  • cases with clinical symptoms and signs attributable to COVID-19 disease (i.e. respiratory as well as non-respiratory clinical signs and symptoms), with or without the availability of ancillary tests (i.e. complete blood count, chest x-ray); cases with disposition (i.e. discharged or died) at the end of the study period.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pediatric patients ≤18 years
  • Cases with conditions of diseases caused by other organisms (i.e. bacteria, other viruses, fungi, etc.) or caused by other pathologies unrelated to COVID-19 disease (i.e., trauma).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
COVID-19 patients with neurologic manifestations
Patients with confirmed COVID-19 disease who presented with neurological symptoms or new-onset neurological disorders/complications
COVID-19 patients without neurologic manifestations
Patients with confirmed COVID-19 disease who did not present with neurological symptoms or new-onset neurological disorders/complications

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mortality (binary outcome)
Time Frame: from admission until occurrence of mortality, assessed up to 6 months
Defined as patients with confirmed COVID-19 who died
from admission until occurrence of mortality, assessed up to 6 months
Respiratory failure (binary outcome)
Time Frame: from admission until occurrence of respiratory failure, assessed up to 6 months
Defined as the patient with confirmed COVID-19 who experienced clinical symptoms and signs of respiratory insufficiency. Clinically, this condition may manifest as tachypnea, abnormal blood gases (hypoxemia or hypercapnia), signs of increased work of breathing, and requires oxygen supplementation
from admission until occurrence of respiratory failure, assessed up to 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Duration of ventilator dependence (continuous outcome)
Time Frame: day of intubation to day of extubation, assessed up to 6 months
Defined as the number of days from initiation of assisted ventilation to extubation
day of intubation to day of extubation, assessed up to 6 months
Intensive care unit (ICU) admission (binary outcome)
Time Frame: admission to ICU admission, assessed up to 6 months
Defined as the patients with confirmed COVID-19 who are admitted to an ICU or ICU-comparable setting
admission to ICU admission, assessed up to 6 months

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Length of ICU stay (continuous outcome)
Time Frame: ICU admission to ICU discharge, assessed up to 6 months
Defined as the number of days admitted in the ICU or ICU-comparable setting
ICU admission to ICU discharge, assessed up to 6 months
Length of hospital stay (continuous outcome)
Time Frame: admission to hospital discharge, assessed up to 6 months
Defined as the number of days from admission to discharge
admission to hospital discharge, assessed up to 6 months
