Mashup Score: 31Convalescent plasma cuts death by 10% in COVID patients on mechanical ventilation, trial finds - 6 month(s) ago
University of Minnesota http://twin-cities.umn.edu/ 612-625-5000 A randomized clinical trial in Belgium finds that convalescent plasma reduces death rates by about 10% in COVID-19 patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. University of Liege researchers led the open-label study involving 17 intensive care units (ICUs) in Belgium from October 2020 to March 2022, largely pre-Omicron strain. The results were published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. A total of 475 COVID-19 patients
