ABSTRACT

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of favipiravir (FPV) in preventing the development of severe COVID-19 in patients with mild-to-moderate symptoms. The study evaluated 1037 COVID-19 patients treated with FPV or standard treatment between April and September 2021, analyzed by propensity score matching. 149 patients were included in each arm after propensity score matching. The clinical outcomes showed no deterioration of the WHO clinical progression scale in the FPV group compared to the standard treatment group on day 5 (83.2% vs. 69.1%, p < 0.001). The WHO clinical progression scale also showed improvements on day 14 in the FPV group compared to the standard treatment group (66.4% vs. 46.3%, p < 0.001). The rates of oxygen supplementation and hospitalization were significantly lower in the FPV group compared to the standard treatment group (0% vs. 12.1% and 0.7% vs. 17.4%, respectively, p < 0.001 for both). There were no differences in adverse events between the two groups. The study highlights the effectiveness of FPV in preventing severe COVID-19 and hospitalization in patients with mild-to-moderate symptoms. The findings emphasize the importance of personalized treatment plans for COVID-19 patients, starting FPV treatment early, and adjusting dosages based on ethnicity and body weight.
