Brief Summary

The aim of our study to compare the proportion of patients who develop SARS-CoV-2 disease in 3 groups: patients undergoing a abdominal ultrasound examination in a Specialty Center, patients undergoing endoscopic procedure in a third level hospital with CoronaVirus Disease (COVID-19) hospitalization plants and patients who make a telephonic visit (do not go to the hospital) in the digestive system service.

Conditions

SARS-CoV 2; COVID

Keywords

COVID; SARS-CoV 2; Endoscopy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients

  Proportion of patients who develop SARS-CoV-2 infection in 3 groups: patients undergoing an abdominal ultrasound examination in a Specialty Center, patients undergoing an endoscopic examination in a third-level hospital with hospitalization facilities COVID-19 and patients who make a non-face-to-face consultation (do not go to the hospital) in the digestive system service

  may-june 2020

  may-june 2020

Study Arms (3)

Endoscopic cohort

Endoscopic examinations: They will be carried out according to the recommendations of the Spanish society for digestive endoscopy (SEED). In summary, the patient will perform a hand wash with hydroalcoholic solution before entering the endoscopy room, and will put on a surgical mask and gloves. Personnel close to the patient will wear an FFP2 mask, exceptionally a surgical mask, a gown (waterproof in high-risk examinations as established in the SEED guidelines), a cap, nitrile gloves and face shield or safety glasses (reusable) and shoe covers. The examinations will be performed by endoscopist-guided sedation in accordance with current clinical guidelines.

Procedure: Gastrointestinal endoscopy

Ultrasonography cohort

Abdominal ultrasound: They will be carried out according to international clinical guidelines (12). The explorer will wear an FFP2 mask, exceptionally a surgical mask, a gown, a hat, nitrile gloves, and a face shield or safety glasses (reusable) and shoe covers. The gel bottle, transducer, and stretcher will be washed prior to each scan with low-level disinfectant

Procedure: Abdominal ultrasound

Telephonic cohort

The patient will be telephonically contacted for a medical visit.

Behavioral: Telephonic medical visit

Interventions

Telephonic medical visit BEHAVIORAL

The patient will receive a telephonic call passing a medical visit

Telephonic cohort

Gastrointestinal endoscopy PROCEDURE

Upper or lower GI endoscopy according to clinical practice and current guidelines

Endoscopic cohort

Abdominal ultrasound PROCEDURE

Diagnostic abdominal ultrasound according to the current guidelines

Ultrasonography cohort

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample
