Systemic corticoids cut death risk in critically ill COVID-19 patients

22 Feb 2021 by

The systemic use of corticosteroids lowers 28-day all-cause mortality among patients with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), as opposed to usual care or placebo, according to the REACT* meta-analysis presented at the recently concluded eCritical Care Reviews Meeting 2021 (eCCR21).

20 Feb 2021 by

The propensity of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to develop into a severe and life-threatening disease appears to be influenced by genetics, according to the GenOMICC* study, whose results were recently presented at the eCritical Care Reviews Meeting 2021 (eCCR21).

Convalescent plasma safe, effective in early care of elderly COVID-19 patients

19 Feb 2021

In the treatment of older patients with symptomatic COVID-19, early infusion of convalescent plasma with an adequate anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody-titre helps eliminate the virus, according to a study. It also improves survival by restoring immunity and halting the progression of the disease.

Early initiation of anticoagulation may prevent death in COVID-19 patients

18 Feb 2021 by

Patients with COVID-19 who received prophylactic anticoagulation within 24 hours of admission have a much lower risk of 30-day mortality and no increased risk of serious bleeding events compared to those with no anticoagulation, a study has shown. Moreover, this benefit appears greater among patients not admitted to the intensive care unit.
