Article Synopsis
- - Interferons are crucial for the innate immune system, particularly in fighting viruses and modulating immune responses; this study focused on the effects of interferon β-1a in severe COVID-19 cases.
- - Conducted at Loghman-Hakim hospital, the study compared two groups of hospitalized COVID-19 patients: one received interferon β-1a along with standard treatment, while the other only received standard care; 395 patients were analyzed.
- - Results showed a similar mortality rate between the two groups overall, but those treated with interferon β-1a had lower mortality after more than a week in the hospital despite a longer median stay, indicating potential benefits of interferon β-1a that warrant
