Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Descriptive study of patients with suspected COVID-19 upon ED arrival of European hospitals between March 09 and April 08 2020.

Justification:

Over the past 3 months, the world has faced a novel infection disease outbreak, due to a novel coronavirus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV2), with a massive impact on healthcare resource.

In Europe, numbers of confirmed cases continue to rise. Europe is currently one of the regions with the highest number of Covid-19 cases and deaths due to this emergent diseases.

Most COVID-19 infected patients present with mild to moderate acute respiratory symptoms, including cough, fever, dyspnea and pneumonia. About 20% will present with severe or critical manifestations of the disease, including pneumonia, respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Anticipating the needs for hospitalization in ward and/or intensive care is crucial.

Emergency departments are at the front line for triaging patients with suspected Covid-19 and referring them to the appropriate level of care.

In Europe, the number of ED patients with suspected Covid-19 is variable; rate of hospitalization from ED reaches 40% for this population.

Risk stratification and management decisions of patients presenting to the ED with suspected COVID-19 is a challenge for emergency physicians.
