Lung ultrasound will be assessed by LUS-score for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (0-36 points, Bouhemad 2015). Findings of B-line artifacts and consolidations will be noted. In addition to LUS, clinical parameters from physical examination and laboratory tests will be collected. Participants wil be followed until either admission to intensive care unit (ICU) for mechanical ventilation or until clinical improvement. A group of patients with mild Covid-19 infection will be recruited and screened once as reference.\n\nApart from assessment with LUS, patients are managed according to routine care.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Hospitalized adult patients with confirmed Covid-19 and oxygen therapy corresponding to stage 4-5 on the "Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement" of the World Health Organization.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Covid-19 confirmed by positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR)\n* oxygen by mask or nasal prongs ≥ 4 l/min or high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) with fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ≥ 30%\n* age between 18-80 years\n* informed consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* patients subject to treatment-limitation "no ICU"\n* history of heart failure\n* history of lung disease e.g.: pneumonectomy, pulmonary fibrosis or other interstitial lung disease, pleurodesis\n* history of kidney failure requiring dialysis\n* any reason making lung ultrasound or daily follow up impossible\n* opposition to participation in the study'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04412551', 'briefTitle': 'Lung Ultrasound for Assessment of Patients With Moderate to Severe Covid-19', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Dalarna County Council, Sweden'}, 'officialTitle': 'Lung Ultrasound for Assessment of Patients With Moderate to Severe Covid-19', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'LUS-Covid001'}}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Falun', 'country': 'Sweden', 'facility': 'Falun Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 60.60357, 'lon': 15.62597}}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Dalarna County Council, Sweden', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Dr. Maria Hårdstedt, PhD, Specialist Internal Medicine', 'investigatorFullName': 'Maria Hårdstedt', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Dalarna County Council, Sweden'}}}}
