SENSING-AI Cohort for Long COVID Patients

Completed
Conditions
Post-acute COVID-19 Syndrome
Interventions
Other: Collection of clinical, psychometric and biometric data
Registration Number
NCT05204615
Lead Sponsor
Adhera Health, Inc.
Brief Summary

The prospective study will focus on the collection of biometric and psychometric data from a limited population for 1 month with the aim of complementing the SENSING-AI retrospective cohort.

Detailed Description

The stratification of the risk of complications related to persistent COVID symptoms both physiological and psychological in a personalized way would optimize the cost-effectiveness model for the management of these patients. Similarly, the early detection of complications associated with persistent COVID in patients belonging to vulnerable groups would improve care times and, therefore, the patient's prognosis.

The primary objective of this study is to complement the SENSING-AI cohort with biometric and psychometric data prospectively gathered from patients diagnosed with long COVID in the last year to drive the generation of AI-based risk prediction and stratification models.

Fatigue Assessment ScaleWeekly up to 1 month

The Fatigue Assessment Scale is a unidimensional scale, consisting of 10-items measured on 5-point rating scale varies from 1 never to 5 always. Scores range from 10 to 50 with higher scores indicating greater fatigue.

Dyspnoea IndexWeekly up to 1 month

Dyspnoea Index is a unidimensional scale, consisting of 10-items evaluated on a 0-4 Likert Scale (0= never; 1= almost never; 2= sometimes; 3= almost always; 4= always). Scores range from 0 to 40 and higher scores indicate greater dyspnea.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item ScaleWeekly up to 1 month

Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale consists of 7 items measured on 4-point rating scale varies from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). Scores range from 0 to 21 with higher scores indicating higher anxiety levels.

Perceived Stress ScaleWeekly up to 1 month

Perceived Stress Scale consists of 10 items measures on 4-point rating scale varies from 0 (never) to 4 (nearly every day). Scores range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress.

Patient Health Questionnaire-9 consists of 9 items measures on 4-point rating scale varies from 0 (never) to 3 (nearly every day). Scores range from 0 to 27 and higher scores indicate higher depression levels.

Oviedo Sleep QuestionnaireWeekly up to 1 month

Oviedo Sleep Questionnaire consists of 15 items, 13 form the scale itself and two are descriptive items to provide the clinician with information on parasomnias and on the type and frequency of use of any type of sleep aid. The 13 items are grouped in 3 subscales: a) Subjective satisfaction with sleep: 1 item. Likert scale of satisfaction with 7 values ranging from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 7 (very satisfied); b) Insomnia: made up of 9 items to assess the nature of insomnia (difficulties in reconciling sleep, maintenance, early awakening, non-restorative sleep) and its repercussions on wakefulness (worry/tiredness/decreased functioning. Scored on a 5-value Likert scale (from 1 to 5) where the higher the score, the greater the severity; c) Hypersomnia: consisting of 3 items that assess daytime sleepiness and concern/decreased functioning for this reason. Scored on a 5-value Likert scale (from 1 to 5) where the higher the score, the greater the severity.
