The study team proposes a randomized controlled trial of CPAP (n=100) vs. control (n=100) in COVID-19 suspected or confirmed patients with pneumonia or respiratory illness. The overarching aim of this proposal is to determine if early use of CPAP at home will reduce hypoxemic events or reduce the

This is a pragmatic, open-label, randomised study with 4 interventional and 1 control arms. Individuals will be recruited from migrant worker dormitories, and written informed consent taken prior to enrolment. Randomisation will be done by the level within the dormitory building and predetermined

Consecutive patients hospitalized between March 12, 2020 through March 27, 2020 are eligible for inclusion if they were 18 years of age or older, had confirmed COVID-19 infection, with radiographic evidence of bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, and required oxygen by nasal cannula, high-flow nasal

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a high prevalence disease and is associated with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. In 2017, there were 23.979 COPD related admissions in Denmark, approximately 10% died during hospitalization, while 20% of survivors were readmitted between day

In December 2019, a group of patients with the acute respiratory disease was detected in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China. A month later, a new beta-coronavirus was identified as the cause of the 2019 coronavirus infection. Despite China's efforts to contain the disease, it spread rapidly outside the
