General information

Prednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid. It has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties (NCIt).

The WHO guideline on drugs for COVID-19 published on September 4, 2020, issued a strong recommendation for systemic corticosteroids in patients with severe and critical COVID-19, and a weak or conditional recommendation against systemic corticosteroids in patients with non-severe COVID-19. The suggested regimen consists of dexamethasone (6 mg, oral or intravenous, daily for 7-10 days), and acceptable alternative regimens are hydrocortisone (50 mg, intravenous, every 8 hours for 7-10 days), methylprednisolone (10 mg, intravenous, every 6 hours for 7-10 days) or prednisone (40 mg, oral, daily for 7-10 days).

Antivirals With Adjunctive Corticosteroids Prevent Clinical Progression of Early Coronavirus 2019 Pneumonia: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Small molecule Cohort study
Patients 3.66

In the pneumonia subgroup, patients who received prednisolone treatment adjunctive to standard antiviral therapy (mostly hydroxychloroquine) were at a significantly lower risk of clinical progression, invasive mechanical ventilation, or death. Within the overall cohort, only the odds of clinical progression were significantly improved, however. Sample size: 32 (27) prednisolone adjunctive therapy + 57 (17) antivirals only (pneumonia patients in the brackets). Dosage: 0.5-1 mg/kg per day for a median of 5 days.

Oral corticoid, aspirin, anticoagulant, colchicine, and furosemide to improve the outcome of hospitalized COVID-19 patients - the COCAA-COLA cohort study
Small molecule Cohort study
Non-critically ill patients 6.07

A five-day treatment with a combination of colchicine, furosemide, prednisolone, acetylsalicylic acid, and a direct anti-Xa drug resulted in a significantly better outcome compared to the control. Sample size: 28 + 40 control. Dosage: 1 mg/kg daily for 5 days. Main outcome: Composite of 28-day mortality, high-flow oxygen therapy requirement or mechanical ventilation requirement.
