Efficacy of Addition of Naproxen in the Treatment of Critically Ill Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19 Infection
Abstract
The symptoms of respiratory distress caused by COVID-19 may be reduced by drugs combining anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects. This dual effect may simultaneously protect severely-ill patients and reduce the viral load, therefore limiting virus dissemination We want to demonstrate the superiority of naproxen (anti-inflamatory drug) treatment addition to standard of care compared to standard of care in term of 30-day mortality.
Conditions: COVID-19.
Primary outcome: Mortality all causes at day30.
Enrollment: 30 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 30 participants or records.
