Brief Summary:
The general aim of this study is to estimate the rate of disease progression for adults testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. The primary endpoint for this study and the basis for sample size is hospitalization or death during the 28 day follow-up period. In some locations special facilities are being built/utilized for quarantine/public health reasons for those who are SARS-CoV-2 positive. Hospitalization is defined as a stay for at least 18 hours, irrespective of reason, at a hospital or one of these special facilities after study enrollment.
Secondary outcomes include participant-reported health status and change in severity of dyspnoea.
Detailed Description:
SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus that emerged in China in late 2019 causing a novel Corona-Virus Induced Disease (COVID-19). COVID-19 is spreading rapidly throughout the world. While a proportion of people with COVID-19 have sufficiently severe symptoms to require hospitalization at the time of initial symptom onset, in others the disease may remain mild, and in some cases there has been observed a worsening of symptoms a few days after initial presentation with relatively mild symptoms. There is an urgent need for understanding the progression of disease for individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19 who do not require immediate hospitalization.
This is an international, observational cohort study of adults with SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19 managed as outpatients (not hospitalized). This study will also be a platform for the enrollment of outpatients for randomized trials that will be conducted by the INSIGHT group.
Those with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection will form an observational cohort study and be followed for 28 days. Procedures and data collection have been streamlined to facilitate the enrollment of a large number of adults at INSIGHT sites around the world.
