Objective: To describe the experience of treatment with baricitinib (BARI) and/or tocilizumab (TCZ), in monotherapy or combined, in patients admitted for interstitial pneumonia secondary to COVID19, and for 30 days after discharge.

Methods: Medical records of patients admitted with COVID19 and IP with PaO/FiO<300, treated with BARI and/or TCZ, and compared with patients who did not, were retrospectively reviewed.

Results: Sixty patients were included; 43 (72%) are males, mean age 67 (SD: 14) years (<50 years: 17%; 51-70: 30%; >70: 53%), with 8.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the effects of baricitinib (BARI) and tocilizumab (TCZ) treatments on patients hospitalized with COVID-19-related interstitial pneumonia, focusing on their outcomes 30 days post-discharge.
  • A total of 60 patients were reviewed, with findings indicating that those treated with BARI had lower ICU admission rates and fewer deaths compared to those treated with TCZ, suggesting varying effectiveness between treatments.
  • The researchers concluded that BARI and TCZ are safe options for treating COVID-19-related issues, potentially beneficial for patients with severe cases indicated by low oxygenation levels.
