It is thought that glucocorticoids may reduce inflammation-mediated lung injury, disease progression, and mortality. We aimed to evaluate our patient's characteristics and treatment outcomes who received corticosteroids for COVID-19 pneumonia. Methods We conducted a multicenter retrospective study and reviewed 517 patients admitted due to COVID-19 pneumonia who were hypoxemic and administered steroids regarding demographic, laboratory, and radiological characteristics, treatment response, and mortality-associated factors. Results Of our 517 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who were hypoxemic and received corticosteroids, the mortality rate was 24.4% (n = 126). The evaluation of mortality-associated factors revealed that age, comorbidities, a CURB-65 score of >= 2, higher SOFA scores, presence of MAS, high doses of steroids, type of steroids, COVID-19 treatment, stay in the intensive care unit, high levels of d-dimer, CRP, ferritin, and troponin, and renal dysfunction were associated with mortality. Conclusion Due to high starting and average steroid doses are more associated with mortality, high-dose steroid administration should be avoided. We believe that knowing the factors associated with mortality in these cases is essential for close follow-up. The use of CURB-65 and SOFA scores can predict prognosis in COVID-19 pneumonia.Item Characteristics of hospitalized COVID-19 patients and parameters associated with severe pneumonia(2021) Turan, Muzaffer Onur; Mirici, Arzu; Akcali, Serap Duru; Turan, Pakize Ayse; Batum, Ozgur; Sengul, Aysun; Unsal, Zuhal Ekici; Kabakoglu, Nalan Isik; Ogan, Nalan; Torun, Serife; Ak, Guntulu; Akcay, Sule; Komurcuoglu, Berna; Sen, Nazan; Mutlu, Pinar; Yilmaz, Ulku
