Brief Summary

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

The aim of this preliminary study is to describe the potential decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) or forced vital capacity (FVC) as measured by home spirometry in high-risk subjects infected with COVID-19. We hypothesize that the magnitude of such a decline in FEV1 and/or FVC may be associated with clinical deterioration and hospitalization. The study will ultimately inform a larger subsequent RCT that will evaluate the efficacy of home spirometry in the early detection (pre respiratory symptoms) of respiratory complications and therefore prompt early medical attention which is a key for improving outcome.

home spirometry

portable hand-held spirometer to collect and store daily spirometric data (including FVC, FEV1, forced expiratory flow after 25 to 75% of vital capacity has been expelled, and peak flow).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. without dyspnea and with no evidence of pneumonia, ARDS, organ failure or requiring admission to ICU.

All participants will sign a written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients unable to perform spirometry
2. contraindications for spirometry (hemoptysis, active tuberculosis, syncope associated with forced exhalation or increased risk for spirometry)
3. adhere to the follow-up protocol.
