- The study explores the effects of immunosuppressant medications like methylprednisolone, dexamethasone, and tocilizumab on secondary infections in COVID-19 patients in ICUs from March 2020 to October 2021.
- It involved 412 patients divided into three groups based on their treatment: no immunosuppressants, some immunosuppressants, and all three studied agents, with findings showing higher rates of secondary infections and longer ICU stays in those receiving more extensive treatment.
- Ultimately, while mortality rates were similar between the no and some treatment groups, those receiving all three agents had significantly higher mortality rates, indicating potential risks of immunosuppressant use in
