1 Clinical Outcome of Anti-IL6 vs Anti-IL6 Corticosteroid Combination in Patients With SARS-CoV-2 Cytokine Release Syndrome

The cytokine storms mediated by over production of proinflammatory cytokines have been observed in a large population of critically ill patients infected with COVID-19. Patients diagnosed with cytokine storms progress to cardiovascular collapse, multiple organ dysfunction and death rapidly. Therefore, early identification, treatment and prevention of the cytokine storms are of crucial importance for the patients. Immuomedulator such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) antagonist, emerged as an alternative treatment for COVID-19 patients with a risk of cytokine storms recently. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-IL6 alone vs anti-IL6 corticosteroid combination in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia

Primary Outcomes

Description: The median ventilator-free days will be calculated as calendar days with no ventilator support to day 28 . Participants who die before day 28 are assigned zero free days.

Measure: Ventilator-Free Days

Time: Up to Day 28

Secondary Outcomes

Description: From Intubation to extubation date and off Mechanical Ventilation or until ICU discharge, death, or 28 days whichever occurs first.
