Oxygen Requirements and Approaches to Respiratory Support in Patients With COVID-19 in LMICs: A WHO Study

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 2,400 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Pryanka Relan · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 12 Years

Summary

This observational cohort study will enroll patients in LMICs with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 on oxygen or deemed to require oxygen therapy based on objective criteria. Demographics and risk factor information will be collected from participants. Participants will be followed for 7 days or until outcome (hospital discharge or death). Facility level metrics on oxygen availability will also be collected at the beginning of site enrolment.

Detailed description

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted, more than ever, the acute need for scale up of oxygen therapy. WHO has provided an inventory tool to quantify facility-level provision of infrastructure to deliver oxygen therapy. However, data on the use of oxygen therapy at the patient-level remains lacking. This observational cohort study will enroll patients in LMICs with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 on oxygen or deemed to require oxygen therapy based on objective criteria. Demographics and risk factor information will be collected from participants. Participants will be followed for 7 days or until outcome (hospital discharge or death). Facility level metrics on oxygen availability will also be collected at the beginning of site enrolment.
