Early administration of remdesivir may reduce mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients : A propensity score matched analysis.

Remdesivir did not reduce in-hospital mortality in our whole propensity score matched cohort, but subgroup analysis showed a significant mortality reduction in female patients and in patients treated within ≤ 7 days of symptom onset. Remdesivir may reduce mortality in patients who are treated in the early stages of illness.
