NCT ID NCT04359693
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study from France compared over 1,500 ICU patients on ventilators to see if those with COVID-19 develop more lung infections than patients with influenza or no viral pneumonia. Researchers tracked cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia and tracheobronchitis. The goal is to understand if COVID-19 changes infection risk, which could improve care for critically ill patients.
