We extracted the following variables: the authors, the publication year, the study design, viral type, population, treatment details (including corticosteroid use, types and doses of corticosteroids, and other treatments), and outcome measures such as the use of corticosteroids in critical and non-critical patients, mortality, LOS and adverse reactions to corticosteroids (including bacterial infection, hyperglycemia, hypocalcemia and hypokalemia).
