Clinical Trial Summary

Thromboembolisms (TEs) in patients with critical COVID-19 has been reported to be three times higher than for other critically ill patients. Immunothrombosis has been proposed as a plausible mechanism for COVID-19 coagulopathy. Corticosteroids improve survival in patients with critical COVID-19, and likely even more so with a higher dose. However, the evidence regarding the impact on the incidence of thromboembolic and bleeding events are currently uncharted. The aim of this study is to investigate if there is a difference in the incidence of thromboembolic events during ICU stay in patients with critical COVID-19 when treated with 12 mg dexamethasone compared to 6 mg dexamethasone.

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of patients discharged alive from the ICU without thromboembolic events Number of patients discharged alive from the ICU without thromboembolic events defined as pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, other thromboembolic events During ICU-stay
Secondary The cumulative proportion of thromboembolic events The incidence of thromboembolic events defined as pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, other thromboembolic events During ICU-stay
Secondary The cumulative proportion of bleeding events The cumulative proportion of bleeding events defined as any type of bleeding During ICU-stay
