Impact of low dose tocilizumab on mortality rate in patients with COVID-19 related pneumonia
Open accessAbstract
Highlights • Pneumonia with respiratory failure represents the main cause of death in COVID-19.• Hyperinflammation plays an important role in COVID-19 lung damage.• Tocilizumab might be helpful to treat COVID-19 related pneumonia.• 8% vs 57% of deaths were observed in patients treated or not treated with tocilizumab.• Early administration of tocilizumab drastically reduced mortality rate in our sample.• Tocilizumab might prevent excessive lung damage and death in patients with COVID-19.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
