cord-344839-r05p9h0e	Majmundar, Monil	Efficacy of corticosteroids in non-intensive care unit patients with COVID-19 pneumonia from the New York Metropolitan region	2020-09-09		.txt	text/plain	4072	235	44	OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of corticosteroids in non-intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of corticosteroids in non-intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). The results of our study showed that the administration of corticosteroids in patients admitted to the general medical ward with AHRF and a diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia was associated with a lower risk of developing the primary outcome composite of ICU transfer, intubation or death. In our analysis of hospitalized patients in the general ward with COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by acute hypoxic respiratory failure, early use of moderate dose systemic corticosteroid for the shorter duration was associated with a significantly lower rate of the primary outcomes of ICU transfer, intubation, or in-hospital death.	./cache/cord-344839-r05p9h0e.txt	./txt/cord-344839-r05p9h0e.txt
