Abstract
Study Highlights WHAT IS THE CURRENT KNOWLEDGE ON THE TOPIC? Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) viral dynamics is associated with risk of death in hospitalized patients. WHAT QUESTION [...]
: The role of antiviral treatment in coronavirus disease 2019 hospitalized patients is controversial. To address this question, we analyzed simultaneously nasopharyngeal viral load and the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS‐2) using an effect compartment model to relate viral dynamics and the evolution of clinical severity. The model is applied to 664 hospitalized patients included in the DisCoVeRy trial (NCT04315948; EudraCT 2020‐000936‐23) randomly assigned to either standard of care (SoC) or SoC + remdesivir. Then we use the model to simulate the impact of antiviral treatments on the time to clinical improvement, defined by a NEWS‐2 score lower than 3 (in patients with NEWS‐2
