Robust evidenced treatment strategy for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has not been established yet. Early, targeted, comprehensive management approach can be essential.
A lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r)-based antiviral treatment was administered to the patients with computed tomography (CT)-documented pneumonia. Medical records of patients with COVID-19, previously discharged or hospitalized for ≥ 21 days at the Seoul Medical Center from January 29 to April 15, 2020 were reviewed to analyze clinical and virological outcomes. Patients were divided into two groups (PCR-Negative conversion group vs. Non-negative conversion group and requiring oxygen group vs. Non-requiring oxygen group).
In total, 136 patients with a mean age of 41.8 ± 18.2 years were included with median 3-day delay of hospitalization after illness. Thirteen (9.56%) were initially asymptomatic, and 5 (3.67%) were persistently asymptomatic. Eighty-five (62.5%) had CT-documented pneumonia, 94% of whom received LPV/r treatments. A total of 53 patients (38.97%) had negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results within 28 days. Eight (9.4%) out of 85 pneumonic patients received oxygen supplementation. Patients with initial lower respiratory symptoms showed significant delay in PCR negative conversion (> 28 days) (odds ratio [OR] 0.166; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.067-0.477; P < 0.001). However, antiviral treatment for pneumonic patients was significantly related with early conversion within 28 days (OR 3.049; 95% CI 1.128-8.243; P = 0.028). Increasing age increased the likelihood of oxygen supplementation requirement in the pneumonic patient group (OR 1.108; 95% CI 1.021-1.202; P = 0.014).
Early, pneumonia targeted LPV/r-based antiviral therapy resulted in a significantly higher probability of negative conversion of PCR within 28 days compared to symptomatic treatment.
目前尚未建立针对 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的稳健循证治疗策略。早期、靶向、全面的管理方法可能至关重要。
对 CT 确诊为肺炎的患者给予洛匹那韦/利托那韦(LPV/r)为基础的抗病毒治疗。回顾 2020 年 1 月 29 日至 4 月 15 日在首尔医疗中心住院治疗≥21 天的 COVID-19 患者的病历,分析临床和病毒学结果。患者分为两组(PCR 转阴组与非转阴组、需氧组与非需氧组)。
共纳入 136 例患者,平均年龄 41.8±18.2 岁,发病后中位住院时间为 3 天。13 例(9.56%)患者最初无症状,5 例(3.67%)患者持续无症状。85 例(62.5%)患者有 CT 确诊的肺炎,94%的患者接受 LPV/r 治疗。28 天内有 53 例(38.97%)患者的聚合酶链反应(PCR)结果为阴性。85 例肺炎患者中有 8 例(9.4%)接受了氧疗。初始有下呼吸道症状的患者 PCR 转阴时间明显延迟(>28 天)(比值比[OR]0.166;95%置信区间[CI]0.067-0.477;P<0.001)。然而,肺炎患者的抗病毒治疗与 28 天内早期转阴显著相关(OR 3.049;95%CI 1.128-8.243;P=0.028)。肺炎患者年龄增加会增加需氧的可能性(OR 1.108;95%CI 1.021-1.202;P=0.014)。
与对症治疗相比,早期针对肺炎的 LPV/r 为基础的抗病毒治疗可显著提高 28 天内 PCR 转阴的可能性。
