Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study aims to investigate organ dysfunction and biomarkers in patients with suspected or verified COVID-19 during intensive care at Uppsala University Hospital.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Consenting patients with suspected or verified SARS-COV-2 infection, COVID-19, will undergo daily blood, urine and sputum sampling during their stay in intensive care. Data on organ dysfunction will be collected through the electronic patient journal and electronic patient data management system. The collected samples will be analysed for a panel of potential biomarkers that will be correlated to organ dysfunction and clinical outcome.
