The effectiveness of the early treatment for antiviral agents in SARS-CoV-2 infection is closely related to patient comorbidities. Data on effectiveness in immunocompromised patients are limited, with reports involving highly heterogeneous and not well-defined populations. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of treatment in reducing hospitalizations in a real-world cohort of severely immunocompromised COVID-19 outpatients.
We conducted a multicentre, retrospective, observational cohort study of immunocompromised outpatients attended in infectious diseases departments from 1 January to 31 December 2022. Propensity score matching (PSM) multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate the adjusted odds ratio [(aOR, 95% confidence interval (CI)] for the association between antiviral prescription and outcome (COVID-19-related hospitalization up to Day 90).
We identified 746 immunocompromised outpatients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. After eligibility criteria and PSM, a total of 410 patients were analysed: 205 receiving treatment (remdesivir, sotrovimab or nirmatrelvir/ritonavir) and 205 matched controls. Fifty-two patients required at least one COVID-19-related hospitalization 8 (3.9%) versus 44 (21.5%) in the antiviral and matched control cohorts, respectively. There were 13 deaths at 90 days, of which only 4 were COVID-19-related and none in the antiviral treatment group. After adjustment for residual confounders, the use of early therapy was associated with a protective effect on the risk of hospitalization [aOR 0.13 (0.05-0.29)], as was the use of biological immunomodulators [aOR 0.27 (0.10-0.74)], whereas chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [aOR 4.65 (1.09-19.69)] and anti-CD20 use [aOR 2.76 (1.31-5.81)] increased the odds.
Early antiviral treatment was associated with a reduced risk of COVID-19-related hospitalization in ambulatory severely immunocompromised COVID-19 patients.
抗新冠病毒药物早期治疗的有效性与患者的合并症密切相关。免疫功能低下患者的治疗有效性数据有限,相关报告涉及的人群高度异质且定义不明确。我们旨在评估在一个真实世界队列中,针对严重免疫功能低下的新冠门诊患者,治疗在减少住院方面的有效性。
我们对2022年1月1日至12月31日在传染病科就诊的免疫功能低下门诊患者进行了一项多中心、回顾性、观察性队列研究。采用倾向评分匹配(PSM)多变量逻辑回归模型来估计抗病毒药物处方与结局(至第90天与新冠相关的住院)之间关联的调整比值比([aOR,95%置信区间(CI)])。
我们确定了746例确诊感染新冠病毒的免疫功能低下门诊患者。经过纳入标准筛选和PSM后,共分析了410例患者:205例接受治疗(瑞德西韦、索托维单抗或奈玛特韦/利托那韦),205例为匹配对照。52例患者需要至少一次与新冠相关的住院治疗,抗病毒治疗组和匹配对照组分别有8例(3.9%)和44例(21.5%)。90天时共有13例死亡,其中只有4例与新冠相关且抗病毒治疗组无死亡病例。在对残余混杂因素进行调整后,早期治疗的使用与住院风险的保护作用相关[aOR 0.13(0.05 - 0.29)],生物免疫调节剂的使用也是如此[aOR 0.27(0.10 - 0.74)],而慢性阻塞性肺疾病[aOR 4.65(1.09 - 19.69)]和抗CD20药物的使用[aOR 2.76(1.31 - 5.81)]会增加比值。
在门诊严重免疫功能低下的新冠患者中,早期抗病毒治疗与降低新冠相关住院风险相关。
