Qingfei Paidu Decoction (清肺排毒汤) Combined with Conventional Therapy for 50 Severe Cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): A Retrospective Study
(清肺排毒汤) combined with conventional therapy for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in 50 cases.
Methods
2
Data of severe COVID-19 cases who were treated by
Qingfei PaiDu Decoction
and conventional therapy for at least six days was collected from 10 hospitals in five provinces (Heilongjiang, Guangxi, Hebei, Shanxi, Sichuan) during January 28 to February 26, 2020. The general information, clinical symptoms, laboratory indexes, and imaging results were collected. The improvement of clinical symptoms after 3 days and six days of treatment with
Qingfei PaiDu Decoction
was analyzed; the time to negative conversion of nucleic acid test result, absorption rate of lung lesions, length of hospital stay, and changes of laboratory abnormal indicators were assessed.
Results
2
A total of 50 severe cases of COVID-19 were included, involving 23 (46.0%) males and 27 (54.0%) females; the age ranged from 24 to 85, and the median age was 58.0 (45.0, 67.0) years old; twenty-three patients (34.7%) were over 60 years old. Forty patients (80.0%) had at least one complication, of which 16 patients (32.0%) were with hypertension and 10 patients (20.0%) were with diabetes. At admission, cough (35 cases, 70.0%), fever (32 cases, 64.0%), fatigue (20 cases, 40.0%), asthma (18 cases, 36.0%), dry cough (15 cases, 30%) and anorexia (12 cases, 24%) were the major symptoms. Compared to the clinical symptoms before treatment, the number of patients with fever, cough and fatigue significantly decreased after 3 days treatment (
P
<0.05), and that with fever, fatigue, cough, dry cough, anorexia and asthma significantly decreased as well after 6 days treatment (
P
<0.05). Forty-six patients (96.0%) showed different degrees of absorption of lung lesions after 6 days treatment; and the number of patients with abnormally increased white blood cell count, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, as well as that of abnormally decreased lymphocyte count were significantly reduced (
P
<0.05). The median time to the first negative conversion of nucleic acid test result was 10.0 (7.26, 10.13) days, and the median length of hospital stay was 19.36 (15.23, 24.32) days. No serious adverse events occurred during hospitalization, and they were all cured and discharged.
Conclusion
2
Qingfei Paidu Decoction
combined with conventional therapy can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of severe COVID-19 patients, and is safe.
