Abstract
Aim: Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of anakinra (ANK) addition to remdesivir (RDV) on all-cause 28-day mortality in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Patients & methods: ANK was administered intravenously at a dose of 5 mg/kg every 12 h in patients with severe respiratory failure and pronounced inflammatory status. 58 patients were treated with RDV + ANK, 219 patients with RDV. Results: The estimate of mortality at 28 days was 17.2% in the RDV + ANK group and 21.4% in the RDV group. Median time to death was 14 days in the RDV + ANK group and 19 in the RDV group. Conclusion: Despite severe respiratory failure and pronounced inflammatory status, patients who received RDV + ANK had similar mortality compared with patients who received RDV.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
