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.
