Assessment

Primary outcomes

The odds ratio for improvement on a 7-point ordinal scale* on Day 15.
[*The scale is as follows: 1) Death, 2) Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), 3) Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices, 4) Hospitalized, requiring low flow supplemental oxygen, 5) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise), 6) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer required ongoing medical care, 7) Not hospitalized.]

Key secondary outcomes

1)Time to PCR negativity of the swab solution
2)Duration of heat generation
3)Percentage of improvement in imaging findings
4)Period of time until improvement in imaging findings is confirmed
5)Percentage needed/ period of time until needed/period of implementation of supplemental oxygen/ Ventilation/ECMO
6)Period of hospitalization
7)Survival period.

Number of participants that the trial has enrolled

1092

Results

The odds of improvement in a 7-point ordinal score on Day 15 was significantly lower for the corticosteroid versus non-corticosteroid group. The time to improvement in radiological findings was significantly shorter in the corticosteroid. The duration of invasive mechanical ventilation was shorter in corticosteroid group. Of the 106 patients who received methylprednisolone, the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation was significantly shorter in the pulse/semi-pulse group.

Baseline Characteristics

Of 1092 COVID-19 patients analyzed, 118 patients were assigned to either the corticosteroid and non-corticosteroid group, after propensity score matching. At baseline, most patients did not require invasive/noninvasive ventilation (85.6% corticosteroid group vs. 89.8% non-corticosteroid group).

Participant flow

This multicenter, retrospective study enrolled consecutive hospitalized COVID-19 patients diagnosed January to April 2020 across 30 institutions in Japan. Clinical outcomes were compared for COVID-19 patients who received or did not receive corticosteroids, after adjusting for propensity scores.

Adverse events

Difficult to evaluate due to retrospective study

Outcome measures

The primary endpoint was the odds ratio (OR) for improvement on a 7-point ordinal score on Day 15.
