LUNG FIBROTIC CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH SARS-CoV-2 INFECTION

Conditions
Pulmonary Fibrosis
Registration Number
NCT04409275
Lead Sponsor
Fundación para la Investigación del Hospital Clínico de Valencia
Brief Summary

Prospective, observational, multicenter study that will evaluate the changes in lung function that patients admitted with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia will present according to the level of severity at 4, 12, 26 and 52 weeks after hospital discharge.

Detailed Description

The project consists of a prospective, observational, multicenter study that will evaluate changes in lung function (forced spirometry, measurement of static lung volumes using plethysmography and pulmonary carbon monoxide diffusion test) that patients admitted with pneumonia will present. caused by SARS-CoV-2 according to the level of severity at 4, 12, 26 and 52 weeks after discharge from hospital. Restrictive pulmonary abnormalities will be confirmed by imaging tests (high resolution chest CT).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pulmonary fibrotic changes, short and medium term12 months

To analyze the number of patients who will develop pulmonary fibrotic changes, in the short and medium term, after surviving a bilateral pulmonary infection by SARS-CoV-2

Degree of lung function impairment6 and 12 months

To study the degree of lung function impairment, specifically the restrictive changes in functional capacity and diffusion alterations and its relationship with clinical variables.

Biological markers1 month

Examine the biological markers in the patients who will present this dysregulation of the curative response that will give rise to pulmonary fibrosing phenomena.
