摘要
Question: Is the three-drug combination therapy of dexamethasone, remdesivir, and tocilizumab effective in decreasing the length of stay for patients with severe COVID-19 disease?.Findings: The three-drug combination of remdesivir, dexamethasone, and tocilizumab decreased LOS by 8 days (p=0.0034) compared to nonviable treatments like hydroxychloroquine and convalescent plasma transfusion. However, it did not show any statistically significant benefit when compared to two-drug regimens (dexamethasone plus remdesivir) in severe COVID-19 (p=0.116). No treatment arm appeared to show a statistically significant decrease in mortality for severe COVID-19 patients.Meaning: Triple drug therapies that include tocilizumab may potentially reduce LOS for severe patients but we did not find statistically significant data to support this statement
