Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effectiveness of IVIG therapy on hematologic laboratory parameters (WBC, lymphocyte count), renal (Cr, Urea) and liver (AST, ALT) in patients with COVID-19 before and after IVIg treatment
Design
In this study, we first reviewed the records of patients admitted with COVID-19 and selected 98 cases that were treated with IVIG with 98 patients who were admitted for the same reason and with almost the same age and sex conditions without receiving IVIG. be. Then, the information and results of laboratory parameters will be extracted from the laboratory system and patients' clinical and demographic information in coordination with medical records from their files.
Settings and conduct
In this study, in order to recognize the effect of IVIg, the results of various parameters such as WBC count, Lymphocyte count, platelets, sodium, potassium, urea, creatinine, AST, ALT, interleukin 6, CRP, ESR, LDH, d-Dimer before and after treatment With IVIg, it is extracted from the HIS system of Milad and Al-Zahra hospitals in Isfahan and their changes are compared
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Having laboratory and clinical results of COVID-19 2. Positive PCR test for COVID-19 3. Do not have other allergic diseases and cancer Exclusion criteria: 1. Death of the patient 2. Taking any immunosuppressive drugs during treatment
Intervention groups
Patients with severe or severity of COVID-19 disease who have not responded to other treatments and are indicated for IVIg treatment according to their physician will be included in the study. And patients in the control group will be selected in terms of sex and age almost similar to the study group
Main outcome variables
Serum IL-6 levels; Serum BUN level; Serum Cr level; Fever; Oxygen saturation; Lymphocyte count; Platelet count; K; Na; AST; ALT; LDH; D-dimer; ESR; CRP

Intervention groups

1

Description
"Intervention group": In this study, patients with severe type or severity of COVID-19 disease, in addition to other treatments and according to the doctor, had a dose of IVIg treatment, will be included in the study. To eliminate confounders, the control group is used for adaptation and the patients in the control group will be selected almost similar to the study group in terms of sex and age. The results of hematological, hepatic and renal parameters before IVIg injection will be compared with the results of the fourth day after IVIG and will be analyzed.
Category
Treatment - Drugs

2

Description
"Control group": In this study, the control group of patients with severe or severity of COVID-19 disease who receive other therapies of the intervention group except IVIg will be included in the study. This work is used to eliminate confounding factors and for fitting, and patients in the control group will be selected almost similar to the study group in terms of sex and age. The results of hematological, hepatic and renal parameters before IVIg injection will be compared with the results of the fourth day after IVIG and will be analyzed.
