To investigate COVID-19 related mоrtаlity according to the use of corticosteroid therapy.
Retrospective cohort study.
Two tertiary hospitals in Kuwait.
Overall, 962 patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, were stratified according to whether they were treated with corticosteroids (dexamethasone or methylprednisolone). The mean age of the patients was 50.2 ± 15.9 years and 344/962 (35.9%) were female.
In-hospital mortality and cumulative all-cause mortality.
Compared to non-corticosteroid therapy patients, corticosteroid therapy patients had a higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, and chronic kidney disease; a longer hospital stay (median [IQR]: 17.0 [5.0-57.3] days vs 14.0 [2.0-50.2] days); and a higher in-hospital mortality (51/199 [25.6%] vs 36/763 [4.7%]). Logistic regression analysis showed a higher in-hospital mortality in the corticosteroid group (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 4.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.64-8.02, p < 0.001). Cox proportional hazards regression showed that corticosteroid use was a significant predictor of mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.96, p < 0.001).
In-hospital mortality in patients with SARS-CoV-2 on corticosteroid therapy was 4.6 times higher than in those without corticosteroid therapy.
根据皮质类固醇疗法的使用情况调查新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)相关死亡率。
回顾性队列研究。
科威特的两家三级医院。
总体而言,962例确诊感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)的患者,根据是否接受皮质类固醇(地塞米松或甲泼尼龙)治疗进行分层。患者的平均年龄为50.2±15.9岁,344/962(35.9%)为女性。
住院死亡率和累积全因死亡率。
与未接受皮质类固醇治疗的患者相比,接受皮质类固醇治疗的患者高血压、糖尿病、心血管疾病、慢性肺病和慢性肾病的患病率更高;住院时间更长(中位数[四分位间距]:17.0[5.0 - 57.3]天对14.0[2.0 - 50.2]天);住院死亡率更高(51/199[25.6%]对36/763[4.7%])。逻辑回归分析显示皮质类固醇组的住院死亡率更高(调整优势比[aOR]:4.57,95%置信区间[CI]:2.64 - 8.02,p<0.001)。Cox比例风险回归显示使用皮质类固醇是死亡率的显著预测因素(风险比[HR]:3.96,p<0.001)。
接受皮质类固醇治疗的SARS-CoV-2患者的住院死亡率比未接受皮质类固醇治疗的患者高4.6倍。
