COVID-19 in People With Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Detailed Description
Background: The current pandemic of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus is a public health emergency of international concern. The severity of COVID-19 ranges from asymptomatic to severe. Patients with chronic lung disease such as primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) are thought to be at increased risk, but no data support this. Disease course and optimal treatment strategies might differ depending on the underlying disease. The lack of knowledge hampers optimal treatment, and it leads to insecurity and fear among persons affected by PCD and their family. PCD patient organisations initiated the idea of a survey that gathers essential knowledge on effects of COVID-19 on people with PCD and makes it available to patients, physicians, and policy makers in real time.
Aims: To set up an online surveillance system of COVID-19 for people with PCD. For people with PCD, the study aims to:
- Describe incidence of COVID-19, symptoms, course of disease, duration of illness, treatments, and outcomes;
- Identify risk factors for prognosis for a severe disease course;
- Assess the experiences of patients, and their wishes and needs such as availability of preventive measures, medicines, therapies, and official communication and government policies in relation to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Methods: The study population includes all patients with PCD who can be contacted via patient organisations. Local organisations invite their contacts using social media and mailing lists. People with PCD can participate via a link on the study website (www.covid19pcd.ispm.ch), where they can read the study information and give consent. Once registered, participants receive a link via e-mail to the baseline questionnaire with questions on prior COVID-19, PCD diagnosis and treatment, and environment and living conditions. 7 days after completing the baseline questionnaire, and in regular intervals thereafter, participants receive a link to a short follow-up questionnaire with questions on COVID-19, current symptoms, and contact behaviour. Throughout the study, occasional questionnaires are sent out focusing on emerging questions of interest such as official information and policy issues, availability of treatments, or anxieties and fears. Occasional questionnaires can also focus on topics relevant for people with PCD that are not related to COVID-19. In case of hospitalisation, patients or family members are asked to obtain a hospital report. Results are continuously analysed and summaries are published on the study website. Specific analyses are possible on request to inform involved persons, physicians, and policymakers.
This study uses an innovative approach to assess information relevant for risk, disease course, treatments, and outcomes of COVID-19 directly from persons with a rare lung disease and make the information available in real time. It will inform and empower patients and be a resource to relieve anxiety and provide hands-on evidence to physicians and policymakers. It adds no burden to health care professionals and will provide people with PCD and their families specialised information, which they can pass on to their physicians.
Current status
By October 2023, 759 people with PCD from 49 countries registered to participate in COVID-PCD. Results from the study, publications, and plain language summaries are listed on the study website (https://covid19pcd.ispm.ch/en/publications/)
