[21] described the effect of different doses of adjuvant corticosteroid therapy on 30-or 60-day mortality of patients with influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 viral pneumonia through a retrospective analysis. The results of stratified analysis based on the doses of corticosteroids showed that only treatment with low-to moderate-dose corticosteroid could reduce 30-and 60-day mortality of patients with severe infection with PaO2/FiO2 <300 mm Hg. However, corticosteroids at any dose increased the 60-day mortality of patients with mild infection with PaO2/FiO2 >300 mm Hg. Cao et al. [25] reported the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients with COVID-19 with ARDS in a study available on the medRxiv preprint server. ./cache/cord-284008-vlwdtjbe.txt ./txt/cord-284008-vlwdtjbe.txt
