Palliative care cost study for severely ill COVID-19 patients
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at hospital costs for people with severe COVID-19 who were admitted to an ICU or palliative care unit, especially those already very ill before getting COVID-19. It may help hospitals plan and budget more fairly for care during future outbreaks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows adults who are in the hospital (including the emergency ward) with a confirmed COVID-19 infection. It aims to learn how COVID-19 affects people in the hospital and how different cases may differ over time.
This study collects information from adults who are in the hospital for confirmed COVID-19. The goal is to better understand what happens during acute (early) COVID-19 and improve care.
This trial tests whether adding a specialized palliative care team to the ICU can help patients, families, and staff. You or your relative may be eligible if the ICU doctor sees a need for extra support, such as when there is disagreement about treatment or when therapy limits are being considered.
This study looks at whether a rehabilitation approach improves recovery outcomes for people who survived COVID-19 or a serious breathing infection and needed ICU/PICU care. It may help those still dealing with physical or functional problems after their critical illness.
This trial studies people with mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms to better understand and help “post-COVID” condition (ongoing effects after infection). You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a recent confirmed COVID-19 test and you agreed to take part.
This study looks at how the COVID-19 outbreak affected care for people admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit. It may help hospitals improve how they plan and respond during major outbreaks.
