Recommendations for antibacterial therapy in adults with COVID-19-an evidence based guideline

Elske Sieswerda et al.

Summary: The Dutch Working Party on Antibiotic Policy formed a multidisciplinary expert committee to provide evidence-based recommendations for antibacterial therapy in hospitalized adults with COVID-19. The committee suggested restrictive antibiotic use upon admission and outlined specific criteria for stopping antibiotic treatment. The study emphasized the importance of laboratory tests in guiding antibiotic therapy.

Effect of Tocilizumab vs Usual Care in Adults Hospitalized With COVID-19 and Moderate or Severe Pneumonia A Randomized Clinical Trial

Olivier Hermine et al.

Summary: In this clinical trial of COVID-19 patients with pneumonia requiring oxygen support but not in the ICU, tocilizumab did not reduce WHO-CPS scores below 5 by day 4 but may have reduced the risk of needing noninvasive ventilation, mechanical ventilation, or death by day 14. There was no difference in mortality by day 28. Further studies are needed to confirm these preliminary results.

Effect of Tocilizumab vs Standard Care on Clinical Worsening in Patients Hospitalized With COVID-19 Pneumonia A Randomized Clinical Trial

Carlo Salvarani et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of tocilizumab in hospitalized COVID-19 pneumonia patients and found no significant benefit compared to standard care. Further randomized clinical trials with blinded, placebo-controlled methods are needed to confirm these results and explore potential applications of tocilizumab in different stages of the disease.

Early High-Titer Plasma Therapy to Prevent Severe Covid-19 in Older Adults

R. Libster et al.

Summary: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of convalescent plasma with high IgG titers against SARS-CoV-2 in older adult patients within 72 hours after the onset of mild Covid-19 symptoms found that early administration of high-titer convalescent plasma reduced the progression of Covid-19 in mildly ill infected older adults.

Tocilizumab in Patients Hospitalized with Covid-19 Pneumonia

Carlos Salama et al.

Summary: Among hospitalized patients with Covid-19 pneumonia not on mechanical ventilation, tocilizumab reduced the risk of progression to mechanical ventilation or death, but did not improve overall survival. There were no new safety concerns identified.

Efficacy and safety of tocilizumab in COVID-19 patients: a living systematic review and meta-analysis

Imad M. Tleyjeh et al.

Summary: This study reviewed the efficacy of the IL-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab in COVID-19 patients. The results showed that tocilizumab can reduce the risk of mechanical ventilation, but its impact on short-term mortality remains inconclusive. Additionally, the use of tocilizumab does not increase the risk of infections or adverse events.
