An electronic search was performed in Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), using the keywords "steroid" or "corticosteroid" or "cortisol" or "prednisolone" or "prednisone" or "glucocorticoid" or "hydrocortisone" or "dexamethasone" or "methylprednisolone" AND "novel coronavirus" or "2019-nCoV" or "COVID-19" or "SARS-CoV-2" between 2019 and present time (i.e., up to May 7th, 2020) and without language restrictions. A total of 466 studies were originally identified based on our search criteria, 411 of which were excluded after title, abstract or full text reading since they were review articles, editorial materials or letters, and did not report the use of corticosteroid in patients with or without severe COVID-19.
