Abstract
Background: Since December 2022, the Omicron variant has led to a widespread pandemic in China. The study was to explore the safety and effectiveness of Paxlovid for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Research design and methods: We included patients at risk of developing severe COVID-19, all of whom exhibited mild to moderate symptoms and were admitted to three hospital centers. Patients were divided into two groups: one received Paxlovid alongside standard care, while the other was given only standard care. We compared clinical characteristics, hospital stay duration, and clinical outcomes between two groups. Multi-factor analysis determined the independent risk factors influencing the duration of hospitalization and disease progression.
Results: In the study, those treated with Paxlovid shorter hospital stays than those in the control group (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that the absence of Paxlovid treatment was a distinct risk factor for hospitalizations lasting over 7 days (OR: 4.983, 95% CI: 3.828-6.486, p < 0.001) and 14 days (OR: 2.940, 95% CI: 2.402-3.597, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Amid the Omicron outbreak, Paxlovid has proven to be a safe and effective treatment for reducing hospitalization durations for patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.
背景:自2022年12月以来,奥米克变异株导致中国大范围流行。该研究旨在探讨帕克洛维治疗冠状病毒病2019(COVID-19)的安全性和有效性:我们纳入了有发生严重COVID-19风险的患者,他们均表现出轻度至中度症状,并在三家医院中心住院治疗。患者被分为两组:一组在接受标准治疗的同时接受 Paxlovid 治疗,另一组仅接受标准治疗。我们比较了两组患者的临床特征、住院时间和临床结果。多因素分析确定了影响住院时间和疾病进展的独立风险因素:在研究中,与对照组相比,接受 Paxlovid 治疗的患者的住院时间更短(p p p 结论:Paxlovid 治疗的患者的住院时间更短:在Omicron疫情中,Paxlovid被证明是一种安全有效的治疗方法,可缩短轻度至中度COVID-19患者的住院时间。
