Dexamethasone Dose for COVID-19 in a Large U.S. Hospital Network From April 2020 to May 2023.
Purpose: While potential harm from high doses of systemic dexamethasone for clinical management of COVID-19 is an important concern, little is known about real world dexamethasone dosing in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States.
Methods: Descriptive study to assess dexamethasone daily dose in adults with COVID-19 in a large US hospital network, overall and by respiratory support requirements, extracted using semi- structured nursing notes.
Results: Of 332 430 hospitalizations with a COVID-19 diagnosis, 201 637 (60.7%) hospitalizations included dexamethasone administration. The mean age of recipients was 63 years, 53.0% were male, and 64.5% White. Median time from admission to dexamethasone administration was 0 day (interquartile range [IQR], 0-1 days) and median duration of use was 5 (IQR, 3-9) days. Almost 80% of hospitalizations received standard daily doses (≤ 6 mg daily), 12.7% moderately high daily doses (> 6- ≤ 10 mg daily), and 8.1% high (> 10- ≤ 20 mg daily) or very high daily dose (> 20 mg daily). Over 20% of COVID-19 hospitalizations requiring no oxygen or simple oxygen received high doses of systemic dexamethasone.
Conclusions: Given the findings from the UK RECOVERY trial, and the general uncertainty around safety of higher dexamethasone doses in those requiring more intense respiratory support, standard daily dexamethasone doses of 6 mg or less for hospitalized COVID-19 requiring supplemental oxygen are recommended.
期刊介绍：
The aim of Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety is to provide an international forum for the communication and evaluation of data, methods and opinion in the discipline of pharmacoepidemiology. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed reports of original research, invited reviews and a variety of guest editorials and commentaries embracing scientific, medical, statistical, legal and economic aspects of pharmacoepidemiology and post-marketing surveillance of drug safety. Appropriate material in these categories may also be considered for publication as a Brief Report.
Particular areas of interest include:
design, analysis, results, and interpretation of studies looking at the benefit or safety of specific pharmaceuticals, biologics, or medical devices, including studies in pharmacovigilance, postmarketing surveillance, pharmacoeconomics, patient safety, molecular pharmacoepidemiology, or any other study within the broad field of pharmacoepidemiology;
comparative effectiveness research relating to pharmaceuticals, biologics, and medical devices. Comparative effectiveness research is the generation and synthesis of evidence that compares the benefits and harms of alternative methods to prevent, diagnose, treat, and monitor a clinical condition, as these methods are truly used in the real world;
methodologic contributions of relevance to pharmacoepidemiology, whether original contributions, reviews of existing methods, or tutorials for how to apply the methods of pharmacoepidemiology;
assessments of harm versus benefit in drug therapy;
patterns of drug utilization;
relationships between pharmacoepidemiology and the formulation and interpretation of regulatory guidelines;
evaluations of risk management plans and programmes relating to pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices.
