Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Initial outcome (mortality rate or Recovery within 30 days after hospitalization). Timepoint: the experiment of RT-PCR In the lower respiratory tracts When entering the study and One week after treatment Repeat every week too Negative sample twice. Method of measurement: Examining and filling out checklists and performing RT-PCR tests.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Days without organ support (eg, supplemental O2, mechanical ventilation, dialysis and vasopressors): 28 days 2- RT-PCR examination At the time of admission to the study and one week after treatment and every week to negative sample Twice.3-Body failure assessment scores 4-staying time in ICU A period of one year after discharge. 5 The duration of hospital stay - the period of one year after discharge6-Mechanical ventilation duration - one year after discharge.7-Chest radiographic findings Time interval: first and 28 days later.8-Number of patients with side effects from treatment over a period of 28 days Such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, cataracts, glaucoma, cushingoid complications and gastrointestinal and skin complications.9- ICU mortality - a period of one year after discharge. 10-Hospital mortality - a period of one year after discharge. Timepoint: The patient will be visited every one to three months of treatment based on the need for treatment and other follow-ups will be done by phone. Method of measurement: In-person examination and telephone follow-up.
