Since initial reports of a novel coronavirus emerged from Hubei province, China, the world has been engulfed by a pandemic with over 3 million cases and 225,000 deaths by 30th April 2020. Health care systems around the world have struggled to cope with the number of patients presenting with COVID-19 (the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus). Although the majority of people infected with the virus have a mild disease, around 20% experience a more severe illness leading to hospital admission and sometimes require treatment in intensive care. People that survive severe COVID-19 are likely to have persistent health problems that would benefit from rehabilitation. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a multidisciplinary program which is designed to improve physical and social performance and is typically provided for people with chronic lung conditions. PR courses typically last 6-12 weeks with patients attending classes once or twice weekly and consist of exercise and education components. PR is known to improve symptoms (e.g. breathlessness), quality of life and ability to exercise in those with lung conditions. Breathlessness is a very common symptom reported by people presenting to hospital with COVID-19 and loss of physical fitness will be very common. Using existing pulmonary rehabilitation programmes as a model, we have developed a tele-rehabilitation programme (a programme that will be delivered using video link to overcome the challenges faced by social distancing and shielding advice) for people that have been critically ill with COVID-19. In order to prove whether people benefit from this tele-rehabilitation programme after being admitted to hospital following COVID-19 we would need to perform a large clinical trial. However, before doing this it is important for us to answer some key questions: - How many people that have been admitted to hospital and needed intensive care treatment for COVID-19 still report breathlessness, fatigue, cough and limitation of activities after being discharged from hospital? - Is it possible to recruit these people to a trial of tele-rehabilitation after hospital discharge? - Are people willing and able to perform tele-rehabilitation in their own home using video-link to connect with their therapist? - Are there other rehabilitation needs that are commonly encountered by people requiring intensive care treatment for COVID-19 that could be addressed by tele-rehabilitation that the programme doesn't currently address? Investigators will perform a small study called a feasibility trial to answer these questions and gather some early information about possible benefits of tele-rehabilitation. Based on our understanding of other similar diseases, doctors and therapists think that people will benefit from rehabilitation after COVID-19. The investigators therefore want to test a trial design that makes sure that everyone gets the treatment. This type of trial is called a feasibility, wait-list design randomised controlled trial. People with breathlessness and some limitation of activities will be selected at random to receive tele-rehabilitation within 2 weeks or to wait 6-8 weeks before starting. how many people were eligible to take part, how many agreed to take part and the symptoms and rehabilitation needs that they have will be assessed. Investigators will then monitor symptoms and ability to exercise at the start and end of the trial and before and after tele-rehabilitation.
Description: The proportion of the total patients contacted, that meet the intieligibility criteria and give consent to take part Data quality: completion of clinical outcomes (questionnaires and other assessments) at each time point and patterns of missing data for the study measures. Intervention: Adherence in delivery and uptake documented in the clinical record.
Measure: Recruitment - contact to consent ratio Time: through study completion an average of a yearDescription: The proportion of patients consented to the study that do not meet the eligibility criteria
Measure: Recruitment - screen failure rate Time: through study completion an average of a yearDescription: The number patients recruited over the designated time frame
Measure: Recruitment rate Time: through study completion an average of a yearDescription: The proportion of consented patients that complete the study
Measure: Recruitment retention Time: through study completion an average of 16 monthsDescription: The Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnoea Scale is a self rating tool to measure the degree of disability that breathlessness poses on day to day activities on a scale of 0-4; the higher the score the worse the outcome. A comparison of Change in MMRC dyspnoea scale from baseline to post 8 weeks tele rehab within the group and between fast track and wait list group.
Measure: The Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) Dyspnoea Scale Time: 8 weeksDescription: The Numerical Rating Scale is a self rating tool to measure breathlessness on a 0-10 scale; a higher number indicates a worse outcome. A comparison of change in numerical scale from baseline to post 8 weeks tele rehab within the group and between fast track and wait list group
Measure: Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) of breathlessness Time: 8 weeksDescription: The Cough Visual Analogue Scale is a self rating assessment of cough on an 0-100mm scale: the higher the number reported the worse the symptom. A comparison of Change in cough visual analogue scale from baseline to post 8 weeks tele rehab within the group and between fast track and wait list group
Measure: Cough Visual analogue Scale (VAS) Time: 8 weeksDescription: The EQ-5D-5L questionnaire assesses the patients current health status and consists of two elements: 1. Visual Analogue Scale with a range of 0-100mm- the higher the number the worse the outcome 2. A quality of life questionnaire split into 5 domains which generates a 5 digit code ranging from 11111 to 55555 with the higher number indicating a worse outcome. A comparison of Change in EQ-5D-5L quality of life questionnaire from baseline to post 8 weeks tele rehab within the group and between fast track and wait list group
Measure: EQ-5D-5L questionnaire Time: 8 weeksDescription: The Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale consists of two sub scales anxiety and depression with a range of between 0-21, the higher score indicating the worse outcome. A comparison of Change in Hospital anxiety and depression questionnaire from baseline to post 8 weeks tele rehab within the group and between fast track and wait list group

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.
