Highlights
Anakinra averted need for mechanical ventilation in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia.
Anakinra accelerated weaning off oxygen therapy and hastened transition to room air.
Patients treated with anakinra had significant reduction in biomarkers of inflammation.
Study results did not demonstrate significant difference in in-hospital mortality.
We provided further evidence for the utility of anakinra in severe COVID-19 pneumonia.
The study calls for increasing awareness about clinical and public health majors that would lead to prevention of risk factors associated with increased risk of cesarean section such as maintaining normal BMI and prevention of gestational and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
