VARIATION IN USE OF REPURPOSED MEDICATIONS AMONG PATIENTS WITH COVID-19

ABSTRACT

Repurposed medications, including antivirals, corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine, immunomodulators and therapeutic dose anticoagulants were evaluated using multivariable adjusted random effects logistic regression models and unsupervised clustering. B Results: b Among 7069 adults hospitalized with COVID-19, 1979 (28%) received antivirals, 2876 (41%) received corticosteroids, 1779 (25%) received hydroxychloroquine, 620 (9%) received immunomodulators and 2154 (31%) received therapeutic dose anticoagulants. Contribution of hospital site to risk-adjusted variation was 46% for antivirals, 30% for corticosteroids, 48% for hydroxychloroquine, 46% for immunomodulators, and 19% for therapeutic dose anticoagulants.
