- The article examines the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with COVID-19-associated sepsis compared to those with classic bacterial sepsis, specifically focusing on carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia.
- It highlights the more severe lung injury and milder systemic inflammatory response in COVID-19 patients, along with a greater reliance on corticosteroid therapy and ECMO for treatment.
- The study finds that while COVID-19 patients had worse immunosuppression, they also had better organ functions and lower critical illness scores compared to those with bacterial sepsis.
Background: COVID-19 characterized by refractory hypoxemia increases patient mortality because of immunosuppression effects. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of immunomodulatory with thymosin α1 for critical COVID-19 patients.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed in 8 government-designated treatment centers for COVID-19 patients in China from Dec.
