Abstract

Objective: Although there is no antiviral treatment specific to the virus, favipiravir has entered the treatment routine as an antiviral in our country in May 2020. In this study, in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the intensive care unit; The effects of favipiravir antiviral regimen on mortality and morbidity were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Patients admitted to the intensive care unit were divided into two groups as those who received favipiravir (group F; n=208) and those who did not (group N; n=101). The treatment of the cases is arranged according to current national guidelines. Metavision/QlinICU Clinical Decision Support Software, in intensive care unit; Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-II, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, urea, creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, Pro-BNP, D-dimer, fibrinogen, white blood cell, neutrophil count (NEU), lymphocyte count (LYM), NEU/LYM, CRP, t1 acceptance (0th hour), t2 follow-up (24th hour) and t3 (discharge or ex) values of acute phase parameters, and the comorbidity is obtained by Structured Query Language queries. The primary outcome is mortality; secondary outcomes are possible drugrelated organ toxicities, sudden change of the level of the acute phase reactants, requirement of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), hospitalization time, ventilator dependent days. Results: One hundred eight women (35%), 201 men (65%), a total of 309 cases were evaluated in the study. In the demographic data of the groups, no statistically significant difference was found between the frequency of comorbidity, mortality rate, CRRT need, and secondary infection. The mean increase of 107.66±628.99 units between the t1 and t3 measurement was found to be statistically significant in F group cases. In the F group, the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) during the follow-up period and the last NLR were found to be lower than the initial value. Conclusion: It was determined that favipiravir used in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 ARDS has no superiority in preventing mortality

Özet

Amaç: Virüse özgü antiviral tedavi olmamakla birlikte, favipiravir Mayıs 2020’de ülkemizde antiviral olarak tedavi rutinine girmiştir. Bu çalışmada yoğun bakım ünitesinde şiddetli akut solunum sendromu koronavirüs 2 (SARS-CoV-2) akut solunum sıkıntısı sendromlu (ARDS) hastalarda favipiravir antiviral rejiminin mortalite ve morbidite üzerindeki etkileri değerlendirildi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Yoğun bakım ünitesine kabul edilen hastalar, favipiravir alanlar (grup F; n=208) ve almayanlar (grup N; n=101) olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Olguların tedavisi güncel ulusal kılavuzlara göre düzenlendi. Metavision/QlinICU Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi’nde Klinik Karar Destek Yazılımı; Akut Fizyoloji ve Kronik Sağlık Değerlendirmesi-II, komorbidite, Sıralı Organ Yetmezliği Değerlendirmesi skoru, aspartat aminotransferaz, alanin aminotransferaz, üre, kreatinin, laktat dehidrogenaz, ferritin, C-reaktif protein (CRP), prokalsitonin, Pro-BNP, D-dimer, fibrinojen, beyaz kan hücresi, nötrofil sayısı (NEU), lenfosit sayısı (LYM), NEU/LYM, CRP, t1 kabulü (0. saat), akut faz parametrelerinin t2 takip (24. saat) ve t3 (taburcu veya eks) değerleri, Yapısal Sorgulama Dili (Structured Query Language) sorguları ile elde edilir. Birincil sonuç mortalitedir; ikincil sonuçlar, ilaca bağlı olası organ toksisiteleri, akut faz reaktanlarının seviyesinde ani değişiklik, sürekli renal replasman tedavisi (CRRT) gereksinimi, hastanede kalış süresi, ventilatöre bağlı günlerdir. Bulgular: Çalışmada 108 kadın (%35), 201 erkek (%65), toplam 309 olgu değerlendirildi. Grupların demografik verilerinde komorbidite sıklığı, mortalite oranı, CRRT ihtiyacı ve sekonder enfeksiyon arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmadı. F grubu olgularda t1 ve t3 ölçümleri arasında 107,66±628,99 birimlik ortalama artış istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu. F grubunda takip süresince nötrofil/lenfosit oranı (NLO) ve son NLO başlangıç değerinden düşük bulundu. Sonuç: SARS-CoV-2 ARDS tedavisinde kullanılan favipiravirin mortaliteyi önlemede üstünlüğü olmadığı belirlendi.
