Abstract
Administration of systemic corticosteroids, compared with usual care or placebo, can be associated with lower 28-day all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19. A prospective meta-analysis of 7 randomized trials included 1,703 patients, of whom 647 died. The summary odds ratio between those who received corticosteroids and those who received usual care or placebo was 0.66.
