However, the effect of glucocorticoid on patients with COVID‐19 is controversial. According to a study,[5] dexamethasone group VS standard care group was no significant difference in mortality, intensive care unit‐free days, or mechanical ventilation duration. Hence, glucocorticoid is not to use regularly. Finally, according to the above review, immunotherapy or targeted therapy is not recommended for now. We need more clinical trials for immunotherapy in COVID‐19 to guide us to personalized use. Contrary, what we think needs to be done: Proper nutritional support is another important therapy for COVID‐19, enteral nutrition, the earlier the better; then, anticoagulant therapy is necessary to prevent thrombosis. There are lots of studies that reported that thromboprophylaxis was associated with a lower risk of death and a lower cumulative incidence of thromboembolic events, especially with high doses.[6] In addition, the fever, cough, and other symptoms of the patient should be treated by symptomatic treatment. For oxygen, perform in the prone position and tidal volume for ventilation (<10 ml/kg). Last but not least, organ support such as a ventilator, continuous renal replacement therapy, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are in clinical trials,[1] the results are being expected.","PeriodicalId":93326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Critical Care Medicine","volume":"9 1","pages":"1 - 2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89391859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: This study investigates the efficacy and safety profiles of corticosteroids therapy in COVID-19 patients. Methods: Retrospective, multicenter study case series of consecutive patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection at the whole hospital from January 1 to March 1, 2020, were enrolled. Demographic, clinical, radiological, laboratory, and treatment data were collected and analyzed. The effect of corticosteroids therapy on death and organ-failure complications of pneumonia were analyzed by logistic regression. Results: A total of 470 COVID-19 patients at the whole hospital were enrolled. According to the time of corticosteroids initiation and severity of illness, there were 159 patients stratified into critical ill group and 64% (102 of 159) patients received corticosteroids treatments. Ninety-four percent (166 of 176) of corticosteroids were methylprednisolone. The median cumulative corticosteroids dosage was 300 mg equivalent of methylprednisolone over a median duration of 6 days. Multivariate regression analysis showed that corticosteroids use did not affect the mortality. However, corticosteroids therapy at moderate cumulative doses (total exposure 480 mg to 1200 mg) was associated with deceased occurrence of organ-failure complications in critically ill COVID-19. Conclusions: Corticosteroids have no effect to mortality in COVID-19 patients. The moderate cumulative doses of corticosteroids might decrease organ-failure complications in critically ill COVID-19. Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm our findings, until then use of corticosteroids should be used with caution COVID-19 patients.","PeriodicalId":93326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Translational Critical Care Medicine","volume":"39 1","pages":"1 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78968322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
