Abstract
Background: Recent data from clinical trials suggest that antibody cocktail therapy with casirivimab and imdevimab is linked to reduction of the risk of hospitalization or death among high-risk patients with coronavirus disease 2019. However, it remains unclear how effective in a real-life clinical practice the therapy is.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed Covid-19 patients with high-risk factors who underwent the antibody cocktail therapy, compared to those who were not given the cocktail therapy while being isolated in non-medical facilities during the same period.
Results: Data from 55 patients with receiving antibody cocktail therapy and 53 patients with initial isolation into non-medical facilities were analyzed. 22 (41.5 %) of 53 patients with isolation facilities were finally hospitalized to receive medical interventions. By contrast, 13 (23.6 %) of 55 patients with antibody cocktail therapy subsequently underwent further medical interventions. In multivariate analysis, the antibody cocktail therapy significantly reduced 70 % in need for further medical interventions compared with the isolation (odds ratio=0.30, 95%CI [0.10-0.87], p=0.027). Patients with 96% or above of Percutaneous oxygen saturation were significantly more favorable for the therapy.
Conclusion: The result indicates that the antibody cocktail therapy is associated with reducing the burdens on hospitals in Covid-19 pandemic era.
