Effectiveness of pharmacological treatments for COVID-19 due to SARS-CoV-2: a systematic literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Since the first cases of the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, described in 2019, numerous drugs have been proposed for the treatment of the disease. However, studies have given contradictory or inconclusive results, making it difficult to determine which treatments are truly effective. The objective was to carry out a systematic review of the literature analyzing the effectiveness (mortality, hospitalization and clinical improvement) of COVID-19 treatments initially proposed and finally authorized in the European Union.

Methods

PubMed and other electronic databases were systematically searched for meta-analyses published between January 2020 and December 2022, as well as two additional searches: one of individual clinical studies published until October
