Predictors associated with clinical improvement of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are few agents that have been proven effective for COVID-19. Predicting clinical improvement as well as mortality or severity is very important.

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with the clinical improvement of COVID-19.

Methods

Overall, 74 patients receiving treatment for COVID-19 at Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital from April 6th to May 15th, 2020 were included in this study. Clinical improvement was evaluated, which defined as the decline of two levels on a six-point ordinal scale of clinical status or discharge alive from the hospital within 28 days after admission. The clinical courses were particularly investigated and the factors related to time to clinical improvement were analyzed with the log-rank
