There is one clinical trial.
Hospitals are recognised to be a major risk for the spread of infections despite the availability of protective measures. Under normal circumstances, staff may acquire and transmit infections, but the health impact of within hospital infection is greatest in vulnerable patients. For the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, like recent outbreaks such as the SARS and Ebola virus, the risk of within hospital spread of infection presents an additional, significant health risk to healthcare workers. Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) teams within hospitals engage in practices that minimise the number of infections acquired within hospital. This includes surveillance of infection spread, and proactively leading on training to clinical and other hospital teams. There is now good evidence that genome sequencing of epidemic viruses such as that which causes COVID-19, together with standard IPC, more effectively reduces within hospital infection rates and may help identify the routes of transmission, than just existing IPC practice. It is proposed to evaluate the benefit of genome sequencing in this context, and whether rapid (24-48h) turnaround on the data to IPC teams has an impact on that level of benefit. The study team will ask participating NHS hospitals to collect IPC information as per usual practice for a short time to establish data for comparison. Where patients are confirmed to have a COVID-19 infection thought to have been transmitted within hospital, their samples will be sequenced with data fed back to hospital teams during the intervention phase. A final phase without the intervention may take place for additional information on standard IPC practice when the COVID-19 outbreak is at a low level nationwide.
Description: Incidence rate of IPC-defined HOCIs, measured as incidence rate of recorded cases per week per 100 inpatients, during each phase of the study based on case report forms.
Measure: Incidence rates of IPC-defined hospital-onset COVID-19 infection (HOCIs) Time: 6 monthsDescription: Identification of nosocomial transmission using sequencing data in potential HOCIs in whom this was not identified by pre-sequencing IPC evaluation, measured using pre- and post-sequencing case report forms for each enrolled patient during study phases in which the sequence reporting tool is in use.
Measure: Change in incidence rates of IPC-defined HOCIs with rapid vs standard sequencing Time: 6 monthsDescription: Incidence rate of IPC-defined hospital outbreaks, defined as cases of hospital transmission linked by location and with intervals between diagnoses of no greater than 2 weeks (relevant data extracted from case report forms), measured as incidence rate of outbreak events per week per 100 inpatients during each phase of the study.
Measure: Incidence rates of IPC-defined hospital outbreaks Time: 6 monthsDescription: Incidence rate of IPC+sequencing-defined hospital outbreaks, defined by retrospective review of all available sequencing and epidemiological data for identification of transmission clusters and measured as outbreak events per week per 100 inpatients during each phase of the study.
Measure: Incidence rates of IPC+sequencing-defined hospital outbreaks Time: 6 monthsDescription: Changes to IPC actions implemented following receipt of viral sequence report, measured using pre- and post-sequencing case report forms for each enrolled patient during study phases in which the sequence reporting tool is in use.
Measure: Changes to IPC actions following viral sequence reports Time: 6 monthsDescription: Changes to IPC actions that would ideally have been implemented (given unlimited resources) following receipt of viral sequence report, measured using pre- and post-sequencing case report forms for each enrolled patient during study phases in which the sequence reporting tool is in use.
Measure: Recommended changes to IPC actions following viral sequence report - not implemented Time: 6 monthsDescription: Health economic benefit of standard and rapid sequencing reports to IPC measured using bespoke health economic case report data comparison between baseline, standard and rapid sequencing phases.
Measure: Health economic benefit to IPC of standard vs rapid sequencing reports Time: 6 monthsDescription: Number of HCW days off work measured from sampling these data points on case report forms at all study phases.
Measure: Impact of both standard and rapid sequencing reports on number of HCW days off work Time: 6 monthsAlphabetical listing of all HPO terms. Navigate: Correlations Clinical Trials

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.
