The Ontario Multi-Regional Hospital COVID-19 Registry (COREG)- Recovery Trajectory Sub-study (COREG)

May 22, 2021 updated by: MyLinh Duong, Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation
Radiological and lung function recovery following Covid-19 infection.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators propose to conduct pulmonary LDCT imaging and physiological lung function assessments, and combine this with detailed multi-regional hospitalization clinical data collection on COVID-19 cases (COREG registry); to inform long-term pulmonary and extra-pulmonary consequences and the recovery trajectory following COVID-19 infection.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Moderate to severe COVID-19 infection
COVID-19 patients with radiographic changes on CXR or CT which had not resolved or had persistent hypoxia due to COVID-19 at the time of discharge will be enrolled. All participants will undergo a LDCT and PFT.
Non-enhanced LDCT scans of the thorax will be taken using standard technology on helical CT system
Standard pulmonary function testing will be conducted by trained pulmonary technologists following the American Thoracic Society standards
Persistent LDCT or PFT abnormalities
Participants with abnormalities on LDCT and or PFT will be invited to continue with a follow-up sub-study. This will involve follow up with repeated LDCT and PFT at subsequent time points to monitor and manage the abnormalities detected until the abnormalities fully resolve or to the last time point at 9 months of the study.
Non-enhanced LDCT scans of the thorax will be taken using standard technology on helical CT system
Standard pulmonary function testing will be conducted by trained pulmonary technologists following the American Thoracic Society standards
