Abstract
The efficacy of corticosteroid use in COVID-19 has been widely debated [1]. Although corticosteroids were found to be associated with improved clinical outcomes in severely ill patients in a recent systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials, the sequential analysis suggested a need for further research to confirm these results [2].
