Background: Results of earlier studies have demonstrated underlying diseases such as cancer, diabetes mellitus, immunodeficiency, hypertension and heart failure to be risk factors for severe outcomes and mortality. Furthermore, clinical trials have shown that drugs such as antiviral drugs, antibody cocktails, steroids and anti-inflammatory drugs can be expected to prevent severe COVID-19 outcomes and death. Methods: This study, using inpatient records from the Medical Information Analysis Databank covering national hospital organizations in Japan, was conducted to evaluate the effects of underlying diseases and/or administered drugs on mortality. Subjects were all inpatients receiving oxygen administration and inpatients using respiratory ventilators, categorized by three age classes: all ages, patients 65 years old or older, and patients younger than 65 years old. We used logistic regression to analyze outcomes for underlying diseases, administered drugs, age, sex, the proportion of the mutated strains, and vaccine coverage. Results: Patients with hypertension, except for younger inpatients, have a lower risk of mortality (estimated coefficient 0.67 among all inpatients (p < 0.01): 0.77 among inpatients with oxygen therapy (p = 0.02) and 0.57 among inpatients with respiratory ventilation w (p = 0.01)). Except for younger inpatients, antibody cocktail (casirivimab/imdevimab or sotrovimab) administration was associated with a higher probability of survival (estimated coefficient 0.27 among all inpatients (p < 0.01)). It raised the survival probability consistently, although other drugs might have reduced the probability of survival. Conclusion: These findings suggest that antiviral drugs (remdesivir, estimated coefficient 1.44 (p < 0.01)), steroids (dexamethasone, estimated coefficient 1.85 (p < 0.01)), and anti-inflammatory drugs (baricitinib, estimated coefficient 1.62 (p < 0.01), and tocilizumab, estimated coefficient 2.73 (p < 0.01)) might not contribute to survival. These results have not been reported from earlier studies. More sophisticated estimation procedures, such as treatment effect models, are necessary to obtain conclusive results.
Ethical Considerations
Conclusion The obtained results demonstrated that patients with hypertension have a lower risk of mortality, except for younger patients, which suggests that hypertension might not pose a risk to survival. Results also show that only antibody cocktails (casirivimab/imdevimab or sotrovimab) raise the probability of survival consistently, although other drugs might reduce the probability of survival. In other words, other drugs such as antiviral drugs (remdesivir), steroids (dexamethasone), and anti-inflammatory drugs (baricitinib and tocilizumab) might not contribute to survival. These results have not been reported from any earlier study. More sophisticated estimation procedures such as treatment effect models must be used to obtain conclusive results.
