Retrospective 31 ICU patients, 12 treated with melatonin, showing lower mortality with treatment, without statistical significance. Melatonin 15mg daily.
Although the 39% lower mortality is not statistically significant, it is consistent with the significant 48% lower mortality [27‑63%] from meta analysis of the 9 mortality results to date.
risk of death, 39.0% lower, HR 0.61, p = 0.37, treatment 5 of 12 (41.7%), control 13 of 19 (68.4%), NNT 3.7, Kaplan–Meier.
ventilation time, 42.9% lower, relative time 0.57, p = 0.13, treatment 12, control 19.
ICU time, 1.9% lower, relative time 0.98, p = 0.85, treatment 12, control 19.

Abstract Objective: Coronavirus has disrupted the natural order of the world since September 2019 with no specific medication. The beneficial effects of melatonin on sepsis and viral influenza were demonstrated previously, but its effects on covid-19, especially COVID -19 ICU, is unclear. Therefore, our aim was to determine the effects of melatonin in COVID-19 ICU patients. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study in which the records of patients admitted to COVID -19 ICU of (XXX) during March to June 2020 were reviewed. According to inclusion of criteria, patients who received 15 mg of melatonin daily were called MRG and the rest were ro called NMRG. -p Results: Thirty-one patients were included and analyzed, of which twelve patients were in re MRG. Demographic and clinical characteristics, and laboratory data were similar between two lP groups at ICU admission. Melatonin had no significant effect on ICU duration, CRP and ESR, also the trend of changes was in favor of melatonin. Nevertheless, melatonin significantly na reduced the NLR (OR=-9.81, p=0.003), and also declined mortality marginally (p=0.09). Melatonin was well tolerated with no major adverse effects, moreover the thrombocytopenia ur occurrence was significantly lower in MRG (p=0.005). In MRG, survival increased and Jo mortality risk decreased, although the difference between groups wasn’t significant (p=0.37), which might be related to the small sample-size. Conclusion: Our study showed that melatonin is unlikely to reduce mortality among COVID19 patients and with no significant effect on disease-specific biochemical parameters.
