Tocilizumab in Covid-19 Penumonia in Buenos Aires City

We conducted a retrospective observational study of adult participants receiving only SOC (dexamethasone 8 mg or its equivalent plus oxygen, HNFO or eventual IMV) versus participants receiving SOC plus TCZ (8mg/kg as a single dose) as treatment for severe or critical SARS CoV2 pneumonia. The inclusion date will be the date of admission, and follow up will conclude at death or discharge (whichever occurs first) to describe clinical and laboratory characteristics and outcome of adult participants receiving only standard of care (SOC) versus participants receiving SOC plus TCZ as treatment for severe or critical SARS CoV2 pneumonia.
