How respiratory infections affect daily life in older adults
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how acute respiratory infections (like the flu, COVID-19, or RSV) affect older adults' daily functioning. If you are 60+ and in the hospital with one of these viruses, your participation would help doctors understand the lasting impact on independence and health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You are currently hospitalized for a respiratory infection.
- You have tested positive for the flu, COVID-19, RSV, or human metapneumovirus.
- You do not have a severe disability or advanced dementia that would make answering questionnaires hard.
- You are willing and able to answer two follow-up phone calls over the next 3 to 6 months.
- You are not participating in another trial with an unapproved drug.

This study looks at how the body's immune system responds to common respiratory infections like flu, RSV, and COVID-19 in people aged 60 and older. It aims to understand inflammation during these infections, which could help improve future treatments.
This study examines how the body's natural defense system (specifically a type of immune protein) responds to common respiratory viruses like flu and cold in older adults. Researchers will analyze nasal samples that are already being collected as part of routine care to better understand why older people sometimes have different immune responses to these infections.
This study looks at older adults (60+) who are in the hospital with lung or breathing infections caused by viruses. It aims to better understand these infections in older people, which may help improve care and treatment for patients like you.
This study follows patients 65 and older who are hospitalized with a respiratory virus (like flu, COVID-19, or RSV) to better understand how they recover. Researchers hope to improve care and support for older adults facing these infections.
This study looks at how common RSV (a virus that can cause serious breathing problems) is in older adults who are hospitalized with respiratory symptoms or worsening heart/lung conditions. By joining, you help researchers understand the virus and improve care for people your age.
This study tests how older adults' immune systems respond to a mild RSV virus given as a nasal spray. It helps researchers understand RSV and may lead to better vaccines or treatments.
