BACKGROUND Since the beginning of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic,there has been a widespread use of remdesivir in adults and *** is little known information about its outcomes in patients with end stage renal disease who are on *** To assess the clinical outcomes with use of remdesivir in adult patients with end stage kidney failure on *** A retrospective,multicenter study was conducted on patients with end stage renal disease on hemodialysis that were discharged after treatment for COVID-19 between April 1,2020 and December 31,*** endpoints were oxygen requirements,time to mortality and escalation of care needing mechanical *** A total of 45 patients were included in the *** patients received remdesivir,and 25 patients did not receive *** patients were caucasian,females with diabetes mellitus and hypertension being the commonest *** was a trend towards reduced oxygen requirement(beta=-25.93,X^(2)(1)=6.65,P=0.0099,probability of requiring mechanical ventilation(beta=-28.52,X^(2)(1)=22.98,P<0.0001)and mortality(beta=-5.03,X^(2)(1)=7.41,P=0.0065)in patients that received remdesivir compared to the control *** Larger studies are justified to study the effects of remdesivir in this high-risk population with end stage kidney disease on dialysis.

BACKGROUND Coagulopathy and thromboembolic events are associated with poor outcomes in coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)*** is conflicting evidence on the effects of chronic anticoagulation on mortality and severity of COVID-19 *** To summarize the body of evidence on the effects of pre-hospital anticoagulation on outcomes in COVID-19 *** A Literature search was performed on LitCovid PubMed,WHO,and Scopus databases from inception(December 2019)till June 2023 for original studies reporting an association between prior use of anticoagulants and patient outcomes in adults with *** primary outcome was the risk of thromboembolic events in COVID-19 patients taking *** outcomes included COVID-19 disease severity,in terms of intensive care unit admission or invasive mechanical ventilation/intubation requirement in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection,and *** random effects models were used to calculate crude and adjusted odds ratios(aORs)with 95%confidence intervals(95%CIs).RESULTS Forty-six observational studies met our inclusion *** unadjusted analysis found no association between prior anticoagulation and thromboembolic event risk[n=43851,9 studies,odds ratio(OR)=0.67(0.22,2.07);P=0.49;I2=95%].The association between prior anticoagulation and disease severity was non-significant[n=186782;22 studies,OR=1.08(0.78,1.49);P=0.64;I2=89%].However,pre-hospital anticoagulation significantly increased all-cause mortality risk[n=207292;35 studies,OR=1.72(1.37,2.17);P<0.00001;I2=93%].Pooling adjusted estimates revealed a statistically non-significant association between pre-hospital anticoagulation and thromboembolic event risk[aOR=0.87(0.42,1.80);P=0.71],mortality[aOR=0.94(0.84,1.05);P=0.31],and disease severity[aOR=0.96(0.72,1.26);P=0.76].CONCLUSION Prehospital anticoagulation was not significantly associated with reduced risk of thromboembolic events,improved survival,and lower disease seve
