Palliative care costs for severe COVID-19 patients
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at the hospital costs for patients with severe COVID-19 who also have a terminal illness and are at high risk of dying. It compares costs for patients in regular wards versus intensive care units (ICUs) to understand the financial impact of palliative 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 how COVID-19 and respiratory failure affect recovery after intensive care. It compares pregnant patients to non-pregnant patients to learn more about the long-term effects.
This study looks at why some people develop long-term lung problems after COVID-19. It compares people who had severe COVID-19 and were hospitalized to those who had mild infections and recovered at home.
This study tests a program that brings extra palliative care support to people with advanced chronic conditions, aiming to improve quality of life and symptom management. If you have a serious illness like advanced cancer, COPD, heart failure, or kidney disease, this may help you feel better day-to-day.
