Abstract

Background: We aimed to assess the impact of antiviral drugs (fluvoxamine,remdesivir, lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r), molnupiravir, andnirmatrelvir/ritonavir (NRV/r)) on health care utilization (HCU) inCOVID-19 patients. We summarized findings from randomized controlledtrials (RCTs) and observational studies.

Methods: We systematically searched four medical databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library) for COVID-19 studies up to February 15, 2023. A comprehensive review, meta-analysis, sensitivity analysis, and subgroup analysis were conducted. Pooled effects with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for antiviral drugs' impact on hospitalization, mechanical ventilation (MV), and intensive care unit (ICU) outcomes.

Results: Our analysis included 34 studies (584,978 patients). Meta-analysisindicated potential benefits: remdesivir and molnupiravir potentiallyreduced MV risk, and NRV/r correlated with lower hospitalizationrates. However, LPV/r did not notably curb HCU. Remdesivir waspreferable for high-risk COVID-19 patients, while molnupiravir andNRV/r were recommended for those aged 60 and above.

Conclusion: Remdesivir, molnupiravir, and NRV/r may reduce HCU during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to limited study details and significant heterogeneity in effect estimates, further precise evidence is crucial, especially concerning emerging variants.

部分抗病毒药物对COVID-19患者医疗保健利用的影响:系统综述和荟萃分析

背景:我们旨在评估抗病毒药物(氟伏沙明、瑞德西韦、洛匹那韦/利托那韦(LPV/r)、莫努匹拉韦和尼马特利韦/利托那韦(NRV/r))对covid -19患者医疗保健利用(HCU)的影响。我们总结了随机对照试验(rct)和观察性研究的结果。方法:系统检索截至2023年2月15日的4个医学数据库(PubMed、Web of Science、Embase、Cochrane Library)，检索COVID-19研究。进行综合评价、荟萃分析、敏感性分析和亚组分析。以95%置信区间(ci)计算抗病毒药物对住院、机械通气(MV)和重症监护病房(ICU)结局的综合效应。结果:我们的分析包括34项研究(584,978例患者)。荟萃分析显示了潜在的益处:remdesivir和molnupiravir可能降低MV风险，NRV/r与较低的住院率相关。然而，LPV/r并没有显著抑制HCU。高危COVID-19患者优先使用Remdesivir, 60岁及以上患者推荐使用molnupiravir和nrv /r。结论:Remdesivir、molnupiravir和NRV/r可降低COVID-19大流行期间的HCU。然而，由于有限的研究细节和效果估计的显著异质性，进一步的精确证据是至关重要的，特别是关于新出现的变异。
