| T2 |
90-181 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic with no specific drugs and high fatality. |
| T3 |
182-235 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The most urgent need is to find effective treatments. |
| T4 |
236-366 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We sought to determine whether hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) application may reduce the death risk of critically ill COVID-19 patients. |
| T5 |
367-543 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In this retrospective study, we included 550 critically ill COVID-19 patients who need mechanical ventilation in Tongji Hospital, Wuhan, from February 1, 2020 to April 4, 2020. |
| T6 |
544-764 |
Sentence |
denotes |
All 550 patients received comparable basic treatments including antiviral drugs and antibiotics, and 48 of them were treated with oral HCQ treatment (200 mg twice a day for 7-10 days) in addition to the basic treatments. |
| T7 |
765-911 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Primary endpoint is fatality of patients, and inflammatory cytokine levels were compared between HCQ and non-hydroxychloroquine (NHCQ) treatments. |
| T8 |
912-1046 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We found that fatalities are 18.8% (9/48) in HCQ group, which is significantly lower than 47.4% (238/502) in the NHCQ group (P<0.001). |
| T9 |
1047-1182 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The time of hospital stay before patient death is 15 (10-21) days and 8 (4-14) days for the HCQ and NHCQ groups, respectively (P<0.05). |
| T10 |
1183-1436 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The levels of inflammatory cytokine IL-6 were significantly reduced from 22.2 (8.3-118.9) pg mL-1 at the beginning of the treatment to 5.2 (3.0-23.4) pg mL-1 (P<0.05) at the end of the treatment in the HCQ group but there is no change in the NHCQ group. |
| T11 |
1437-1647 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These data demonstrate that addition of HCQ on top of the basic treatments is highly effective in reducing the fatality of critically ill patients of COVID-19 through attenuation of inflammatory cytokine storm. |
| T12 |
1648-1832 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Therefore, HCQ should be prescribed as a part of treatment for critically ill COVID-19 patients, with possible outcome of saving lives. hydroxychloroquine, IL-6, mortalities, COVID-19. |
