Abstract
Corticosteroids reduced mortality rate in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Previously, we hypothesized that corticosteroids mitigate the inflammation response resulting in reduced coagulation and thrombosis. In this retrospective study, we included 27 patients with COVID-19 that received high-dose corticosteroids (methylprednisolone 1000 mg i.v. daily for 3 days) for persistent respiratory failure or an excessive inflammation response. We found that inflammation, coagulation, and ventilation parameters improved significantly after methylprednisolone. The viral loads of SARS-CoV-2 remained stable or decreased. These results provides insight into the reduced mortality rate observed in patients with COVID-19 treated with corticosteroids.
