Study Summary

Dexamethasone has been approved for the treatment of severe COVID-19, but higher doses of steroids may be more effective. The purpose of this research study is to compare the current standard dose of dexamethasone 6 mg to a higher, weight-based dosing (0.2 mg/kg with maximum dose of 20 mg) to determine if it would be more effective against COVID-19 pneumonia.

Primary Outcome

All cause mortality at 28 days. Comment: Primary outcome was all cause mortality at 28 days but the patients were followed until end of admission for the final disposition (death or discharge) which accounts for the differences in the primary outcome of mortality at 28 days and the total number of deaths at discharge

Interventions

  • DRUG Weight-based dexamethasone dose
