Results Among 271 patients, the mean cumulative dexamethasone-equivalent dose was 158 (119.9–197.25) mg in survivors and 185 (131.7–222.0) mg in nonsurvivors. Univariate analysis revealed that the cumulative dexamethasone-equivalent dose... associated with an increased risk of hospital-acquired infections (p < 0.001). Conclusions The cumulative dexamethasone-equivalent dose during the first 14 days is not associated with in-hospital mortality in hypoxemic COVID-19 patients.
