There is one clinical trial.
Studies have shown that admission to hospital during a coronavirus epidemic is associated with increased levels of anxiety, depression and panic disorder. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in North London the Royal Free Hospital admitted over 500 patients with Covid-19. As part of the standard of care, these patients are screened at 8 weeks post discharge for signs of anxiety and depression. The Feeling Good app is a NHS approved digital application which utilises applied relaxation, mindfulness based cognitive therapy and positive visualisation through audio tracks for the treatment of anxiety and depression. This is a naturalistic cohort study aimed to track the post illness psychological symptoms of those who have been admitted with Covid-19 to the Royal Free hospital up to 5-7 months after discharge. The study population is those who are exhibiting anxiety or depressive symptoms as measure by the PHQ-2 or TSQ questionnaires. All those with symptoms will be offered free access to a NHS approved app for anxiety and depression, and followed up for 3 months after recruitment to track changes to their symptoms.
Description: Generalised anxiety disorder score (GAD-7) scale. Score 0-21, with a higher score associated with greater anxiety symptoms. Scores of 5, 10, and 15 represent cut-points for mild, moderate, and severe anxiety, respectively. GAD-7 score at baseline will be controlled for.
Measure: Anxiety as measured by generalised anxiety disorder score (GAD-7) scale Time: Day 14Description: The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is a screening tool for the identification of depressive disorders, which has been validated for use in primary care. Each of the nine items in the questionnaire is based on the DSM diagnostic criteria for clinical depression. The PHQ-9 is scored out of 27 according to severity, where score of 5-9 indicates mild depression, 10-14 moderate, 15-19 moderately severe, and 20 or above severe depression.
Measure: Depression as measured by the patient health questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) Time: 14 days and week 12Description: The Trauma screening questionnaire (TSQ) is a 10 point scale used to identify symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with a score between 0 and 10, with a score of 6 or higher scored as positive.
Measure: Trauma as measured by Trauma screening questionnaire (TSQ) Time: 12 weeksDescription: Generalised anxiety disorder score (GAD-7) scale. Score 0-21, with a higher score associated with greater anxiety symptoms. Scores of 5, 10, and 15 represent cut-points for mild, moderate, and severe anxiety, respectively. GAD-7 score at baseline will be controlled for.
Measure: Anxiety as measured by generalised anxiety disorder score (GAD-7) scale Time: Week 12Description: Risk factors for psychological distress from admission with Covid-19 will be collected, these will include, age, gender, ethnicity, length of hospital stay, oxygen requirement, co-morbidites, years of education, smoking status, occupation.
Measure: Risk associated with distress Time: Baseline analysisDescription: Framework analysis. Qualitative feedback of patient experience. Semi structured interviews of a subset of patients will be performed to gain further insight into the patient experience. These will be analysed using a framework thematic analysis, to identify themes which will then be used to code the text.

Data processed on September 26, 2020.
An HTML report was created for each of the unique drugs, MeSH, and HPO terms associated with COVID-19 clinical trials. Each report contains a list of either the drug, the MeSH terms, or the HPO terms. All of the terms in a category are displayed on the left-hand side of the report to enable easy navigation, and the reports contain a list of correlated drugs, MeSH, and HPO terms. Further, all reports contain the details of the clinical trials in which the term is referenced. Every clinical trial report shows the mapped HPO and MeSH terms, which are also hyperlinked. Related HPO terms, with their associated genes, protein mutations, and SNPs are also referenced in the report.
