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.
