COVID-19 and Kidney Transplantation: The impact of remdesivir on renal function and outcome - a retrospective cohort study
et al., International Journal of Infectious Diseases, doi:10.1016/j.ijid.2022.03.015
Retrospective 165 hospitalized COVID-19+ kidney transplant patients, 38 treated with remdesivir, showing no significant difference in mortality, higher ICU admission, and lower ICU mortality. Subject to confounding by time with significant changes to SOC and treatment propensity during the study period.[Gérard, Zhou] show significantly increased risk of acute kidney injury with remdesivir.
