Daily Home Spirometry for Early Detection of Pulmonary Complications in Patients With COVID19
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this preliminary study is to describe the potential decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) or forced vital capacity (FVC) as measured by home spirometry in high-risk subjects infected with COVID-19. We hypothesize that the magnitude of such a decline in FEV1 and/or FVC may be associated with clinical deterioration and hospitalization. The study will ultimately inform a larger subsequent RCT that will evaluate the efficacy of home spirometry in the early detection (pre respiratory symptoms) of respiratory complications and therefore prompt early medical attention which is a key for improving outcome.
