Brief Summary

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

COVID-19 pandemic has made a tremendous impact on Indonesian economic and health care system especially with the double burden of diseases facing by Indonesia as a developing country. The prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as obesity, type diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases is increasing. These diseases along with older age have been known as an established risk factors for higher mortality and severe clinical disease entity in COVID-19 infection. Although, there is still some part of patients with these co-morbidities that only present with mild symptoms when infected with SARS-CoV-2, even for some without any symptoms. Thus, it would be very interesting to evaluate how are these role of aging and cardiometabolic parameters in the clinical disease course of COVID-19 infection, and how are the relationship with the immune system.

Detailed Description

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

Indonesia is a country in transition where the burden of non-communicable diseases is taking over the infectious diseases problem, mostly due to the changes in lifestyle and increase in life expectancy.

However, the unprecedented rising numbers of COVID-19 patients in Indonesia has impacted the Indonesian healthcare system heavily. It has been reported that older age and the presence of cardiometabolic risk factors pose a poor prognostic factor of COVID-19. It is also important to note that in Indonesia, the presence of cardiometabolic risk factors is often observed at a younger age. Thus, this might also contribute to the higher mortality of COVID19 infected patients despite their relatively younger age in comparison to other countries. Nevertheless, specific data on the impact of aging and cardiometabolic risk factors on COVID-19 are fragmentary, justifying the achievement of a dedicated prospective observational study.

The CARAMEL study aims to specifically describe the phenotypic aging and cardiometabolic characteristics of patients with COVID-19 infection, in relation with the changes in the mucosal and systemic immune system. Particular attention will be devoted to obesity, central obesity, prediabetes, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, as well as anti-diabetic, antihypertensive, and anti-dyslipidemia therapies.

This study will provide answers to researchers, medical professionals, and especially patients, regarding the impact of aging and cardiometabolic risk factors for COVID-19 prognosis. This pilot study will be used for the development of new studies and for the establishment of recommendations for the care of patients with cardiometabolic risk factors and COVID-19.
