Abstract

Purpose: To assess the impact of early sotrovimab treatment versus no treatment on the risk of developing post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC; long COVID) in patients (age ≥ 12 years) with COVID-19 at high risk for progression to severe disease.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study using the US National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) data. Phase 1 identified and assessed multiple definitions of PASC; Phase 2 evaluated the effectiveness of sotrovimab for reducing the risk of PASC, utilizing definitions from Phase 1. Average treatment effect in the treated (ATT)-weighted Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to compare time to event for PASC between high-risk patients who received sotrovimab treatment between May 26, 2021 and April 5, 2022, and high-risk patients with COVID-19 diagnosed between May 26, 2021 and March 26, 2022 who did not receive any treatment for COVID-19 during the acute phase or any pre-exposure prophylaxis against SARS-CoV-2.

Results: A total of 9,504 sotrovimab-treated and 619,668 untreated patients were included in the main analysis. Most baseline characteristics were balanced between the two cohorts after ATT weighting. The doubly robust ATT-weighted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) was 0.92 (0.89-0.96) (p < 0.001), indicating that sotrovimab use was associated with a significantly lower risk of PASC. Results remained consistent in sensitivity analyses.

Conclusion: In patients at high risk for severe COVID-19, the benefits of early sotrovimab treatment may extend beyond the acute phase of COVID-19 and contribute to the prevention of PASC symptoms.

期刊介绍： Infection is a journal dedicated to serving as a global forum for the presentation and discussion of clinically relevant information on infectious diseases. Its primary goal is to engage readers and contributors from various regions around the world in the exchange of knowledge about the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases, both in outpatient and inpatient settings. The journal covers a wide range of topics, including: Etiology: The study of the causes of infectious diseases. Pathogenesis: The process by which an infectious agent causes disease. Diagnosis: The methods and techniques used to identify infectious diseases. Treatment: The medical interventions and strategies employed to treat infectious diseases. Public Health: Issues of local, regional, or international significance related to infectious diseases, including prevention, control, and management strategies. Hospital Epidemiology: The study of the spread of infectious diseases within healthcare settings and the measures to prevent nosocomial infections. In addition to these, Infection also includes a specialized "Images" section, which focuses on high-quality visual content, such as images, photographs, and microscopic slides, accompanied by brief abstracts. This section is designed to highlight the clinical and diagnostic value of visual aids in the field of infectious diseases, as many conditions present with characteristic clinical signs that can be diagnosed through inspection, and imaging and microscopy are crucial for accurate diagnosis. The journal's comprehensive approach ensures that it remains a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers in the field of infectious diseases.
