EXPLORING the CORRELATION of the LUNG ULTRASOUND with DELIRIUM and OUTCOMES in ACUTE GERIATRICS WORLD (ECO-AGE): a MULTICENTER, PROSPECTIVE, OBSERVATIONAL STUDY from the GRETA GROUP (GRUPPO DI RICERCA in ECOGRAFIA TORACICA NELL' ANZIANO) of the ITALIAN SOCIETY of GERONTOLOGY and GERIATRICS (SIGG)

Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this observational study is to investigate the prognostic relevance of lung ultrasound (LUS) performed on older patients (aged 65 and above) admitted to the hospital with acute respiratory symptoms. The primary objective is to determine if LUS-detected pulmonary abnormalities upon hospital admission are associated with the development of delirium during hospitalization. Secondary objectives include assessing the association between LUS patterns and clinical outcomes such as oxygen supplementation duration, non-invasive ventilation use, mortality, and length of hospital stay. This study involves no interventions and will monitor patients using LUS as part of their regular clinical care in multiple centers.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Previous open thoracic or cardiothoracic surgery compromising the quality of LUS images.
Other illness
- Terminal illness with an estimated survival prognosis of no more than 3 months.
- Any condition determined by the investigators that could introduce bias into the study or compromise the quality of the LUS examination.
Other
- Presence of delirium upon admission.
- Refusal to sign the informed consent form or consent to data collection.
- Lack of cooperation during the LUS examination.
Who the study is looking for
- Patients aged 65 years or older, admitted directly from the Emergency Room or Emergency Medical Services with acute respiratory symptoms or signs.
- Presence of acute respiratory symptoms, including:
- Dyspnea or cough.
- Oxygen saturation less than 94% or respiratory rate ≥ 22 breaths per minute, or PaO2/FiO2 \< 300.
- Clinical suspicion of acute respiratory illness (e.g., pneumonia, acute congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, COPD, pleural effusion, pneumothorax).
- Lung ultrasound (LUS) performed within 48 hours of admission for clinical reasons.
- Signed informed consent for participation in the study.
