Study: Common Steroids Are Effective Treatment In COVID-19 Patients

The video discusses findings from the Medical Association that inexpensive steroids can reduce mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients by 20%. An analysis of seven clinical trials showed that low doses of steroids like hydrocortisone improved survival rates across various demographics. The studies, involving over 1700 patients, confirmed earlier findings that dexamethasone reduces death rates in severe cases. The World Health Organization recommends steroids for severe COVID-19 patients but advises against their use in less severe cases.
