Abstract

(1) Objectives: Patients with COVID-19 infection have been given various formulations and dosages of steroids over the last year and a half. This study aims to compare the effects of different formulations and doses of steroids on the 30 day in-hospital clinical outcome of patients with severe COVID-19 infection. (2) Material and Methods: An analysis of a retrospective cohort was carried out on patients with severe COVID-19 infection in a high-dependency unit (HDU) between February and July 2021. In total, 557 patients were included in this study. Patients who did not receive steroids (124) were excluded. Patients were divided into three groups based on dosages of steroids (Dexamethasone = 6 mg/day, Dexamethasone > 6 mg/day, and Methylprednisolone = 500 mg/day), given for 10 days. First, clinical outcome was evaluated on the 10th day of steroid administration in relation to mode of oxygen delivery. Then, Kaplan-Meier analysis was employed to determine 30 day in-hospital survival in relation to the use of steroid. (3) Results: Three groups were statistically equal according to biochemical characteristics. After 10 days of Methylprednisolone = 500 mg/day vs. Dexamethasone = 6 mg/day, 10.9% vs. 6.2% of patients required invasive ventilation ( = 0.01). The 30 day in-hospital mortality was lowest, 3%, in individuals receiving Dexamethasone = 6 mg/day, compared to 3.9% in individuals receiving Dexamethasone > 6 mg/day and 9.9% in individuals receiving Methylprednisolone = 500 mg/day, respectively. The median elapsed time was longer than 28 days between admission and outcome for Dexamethasone = 6 mg/day, compared to 18 days for Dexamethasone > 6 mg/day and 17 days for Methylprednisolone = 500 mg/day ( = < 0.0001). Dexamethasone = 6 mg/day was found to be a positive predictor of clinical outcome in COVID-19 patients on regression analysis. (4) Conclusions: Low-dose Dexamethasone (6 mg/day) is more effective than high-dose Dexamethasone and Methylprednisolone in improving the survival outcome of severe COVID-19 cases.

摘要

(1)目的:在过去一年半的时间里,感染新冠病毒疾病(COVID-19)的患者接受了各种剂型和剂量的类固醇药物治疗。本研究旨在比较不同剂型和剂量的类固醇药物对重症COVID-19感染患者30天院内临床结局的影响。(2)材料与方法:对2021年2月至7月在高依赖病房(HDU)的重症COVID-19感染患者进行回顾性队列分析。本研究共纳入557例患者。未接受类固醇治疗的患者(124例)被排除。根据类固醇药物剂量(地塞米松=6毫克/天、地塞米松>6毫克/天、甲泼尼龙=500毫克/天)将患者分为三组,给药10天。首先,在类固醇给药第10天根据氧输送方式评估临床结局。然后,采用Kaplan-Meier分析确定与类固醇药物使用相关的30天院内生存率。(3)结果:根据生化特征,三组在统计学上无差异。甲泼尼龙500毫克/天治疗10天后与地塞米松6毫克/天治疗10天后相比,分别有10.9%和6.2%的患者需要有创通气(P=0.01)。接受地塞米松6毫克/天治疗的患者30天院内死亡率最低,为3%,而接受地塞米松>6毫克/天治疗的患者为3.9%,接受甲泼尼龙500毫克/天治疗的患者为9.9%。地塞米松6毫克/天组从入院到结局的中位时间长于28天,而地塞米松>6毫克/天组为18天,甲泼尼龙500毫克/天组为17天(P<0.0001)。回归分析发现,地塞米松6毫克/天是COVID-19患者临床结局的阳性预测指标。(4)结论:低剂量地塞米松(6毫克/天)在改善重症COVID-19病例的生存结局方面比高剂量地塞米松和甲泼尼龙更有效。
