Clinical Trial Summary

aim of this study is to compare between standard dose methyl prednisolone and mega dose methyl prednisolone as regards outcome reflected by mortality rate, percentage of mechanically ventilated patients and icu length of stay of covid 19 patients admitted in intensive care unit.

Description:

Retrospective study for comparison between standard dose methyl prednisolone and mega dose methyl prednisolone as regards outcome reflected by mortality rate ,percentage of mechanically ventilated patients and icu length of stay of covid 19 patients admitted in intensive care unit. Previous studies suggested that cytokine release syndrome could be involved in the pathophysiology of critical SARS.COV.2 resulting in death so early suppression of cytokine storm may be lifesaving in critical patients.
