Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome: A population-based registry analysis to assess clinical findings, pharmacological treatment and survival Gutiérrez Abejón, Eduardo Herrera Gómez, Francisco Magno Pedrosa Naudín, M.

The aim is to analyze pharmacological treatment, survival and the main mortality predictors. Materials and Methods: A real-world data study from COVID-19-hospitalized patients with SARS from 1 March to 31 May 2020 has been carried out. Variables such as hospital length of stay, ventilation type and clinical outcomes have been taken into account. Results: In Castile and Leon, 14.03% of the 7307 in-hospital COVID-19 patients developed SARS, with a mortality rate of 42.53%. SARS prevalence was doubled in males compared to females, and 78.54% had an age of 65 years or more. The most commonly used medicines were antibiotics (89.27%), antimalarials (68.1%) and corticosteroids (55.9%). Survival of patients developing SARS was lower compared to patients without this complication (12 vs. 13 days). The main death predictors were disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) (OR: 13.87) and age (>65 years) (OR: 7.35). Conclusions: Patients older than 65 years who develop DIC have a higher probability of hospital death. Tocilizumab and steroids have been linked to a lower incidence of hospital death, being the main treatment for COVID-19 hospitalized patients with SARS. 2023-10-04T11:10:25Z 2023-10-04T11:10:25Z 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Medicina, 2022, Vol. 58, Nº. 6, 829 1648-9144 https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/61877 10.3390/medicina58060829 829 6 Medicina 58 1648-9144 eng https://www.mdpi.com/1648-9144/58/6/829 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ © 2022 The Authors Atribución 4.0 Internacional MDPI SI
