Introduction: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
is the microorganism that causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has
caused an important challenge when identifying effective therapeutic options. Available
evidence indicates that the "cytokine storm" maintains an aberrant systemic inflammatory
response that triggers the onset of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Given the high
levels of cytokines induced by SARS-CoV-2, treatment to reduce inflammation-related
lung damage is critical. In this context, systemic glucocorticoids have established
themselves as a fundamental pillar in the treatment of moderate-severe pneumonia caused
by SARS-CoV-2. This study proposes to analyze the efficacy of administering pulses of
dexamethasone 20 mg for 5 days versus pulses of methylprednisolone 250 mg for 3 days,
comparing mortality and the risk of admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in both
groups.
Material and methods: This is a retrospective observational cohort study, with an
analytical component, carried out at the Reina Sofía University Hospital and at the
Morales Meseguer University Hospital in Murcia, in the period from September 2020 to
January 2021, which included 209 patients between 18 and 80 years old with moderatesevere pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 who had received glucocorticoid pulses
(dexamethasone 20 mg or methylprednisolone 250 mg). Results: There were no significant differences between the two treatment groups in terms
of mortality at 28 days (Log-Rank; p = 0,931) or in terms of the risk of admission to the
ICU at 21 days (Log-Rank; p = 0,687). Patients who received pulses of
methylprednisolone had shorter mean hospital stays (p < 0,001).
Conclusions: Our results suggest that methylprednisolone pulses could shorten disease
duration and reduce hospital stay in hospitalized patients with moderate-severe COVID19 compared to dexamethasone pulses.
