The purpose of this study was a comparative analysis of the characteristics of the course and outcomes of COVID-19 in HD patients at different stages of the pandemic, focusing on the of the use of immunomodulatory therapy.Materials and methods. The retrospective study included 897 HD patients with COVID-19 (mean age 60.7 years, M 58.5%) who were hospitalized at Moscow City Hospital № 52. Group 1 (n=720) consisted of patients infected between the end of March 2020 and April 2021, group 2 (n=177) included patients hospitalized in May-December 2021. Each of group was divided into 2 subgroups based on treatment approaches. Subgroup 1a (n=231) included patients of the initial period of the pandemic who did not receive adequate immunomodulatory therapy, while Subgroup 1b (n=489) included patients of the late stage, were treated with IL-6 receptor blockers and corticosteroids. In group 2, 108 patients in Subgroup 2a received similar therapy, while 69 patients in Subgroup 2b were treated with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies in the early stages of the disease.Results. Mortality rates in Group 1 and Group 2 was 20.1% and 14.7%, respectively (p<0.09). The incidence of unfavorable outcome was highest in Subgroup 1a and lowest in Subgroup 2b (31.2% vs 5.8%, p<0.01). Mortality in Subgroups 1b and 2a was comparable (14.9% and 20.4%), despite more severe initial lung damage according to CT data in Subgroup 2a. In these patients, immunomodulators was more frequently combined with therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). Independent risk factors for an unfavorable outcome were the progression of pulmonary pathology, with the transformation of stages CT 1-2 to CT 3-4, and a high comorbidity index.Conclusions. The use of immunomodulatory drugs imprtoved the effectiveness of COVID-19 treatment in patients with CKD5D. In severe cases, the most favorable outcomes were achieved with a combination of immunobiological drugs, corticosteroids, and TPE. An even more significant reduction in mortality was observed following the introduction of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies into clinical practice. Independent predictors of unfavorable outcome of COVID-19 in HD patients were a high comorbidity index and the progression of CT 1-2 into CT 3-4.
