Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 produces an acute respiratory disease with high morbidity and mortality. CIGB-258 controls the inflammatory response, survival and favorable impact on the variables of the predictive model.

Objective: Show the impact of CIGB-258 on the survival of patients with COVID-19

Methods: Retrospective descriptive study, in 69 seriously ill patients with COVID-19, at the “Salvador Allende” Hospital, from March to May 2020, the sample selected by inclusion criteria and by random assignment, grouped into two groups, Group 1: 37 treated patients with standardized protocol and Group 2: 32 patients with standardized protocol and CIGB-258. With the model, the risk of death and survival was stratified from admission to discharge and death of the patients. The variables age, respiratory rate, creatinine, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, oxygen pressure, hemoglobin and sodium, history of high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity were operationalized. Means, medians, Levene's Test, Bartholomew's test, Studenst T, and standard deviation were determined. The principles of biomedical research were complied with.

Results: With the use of CIGB-258, the evolution was satisfactory in 72 hours, the time from admission to discharge was 6-9 days, time between admission and death was 10-12 days, reduction to low risk of death according to model and greater survival in patients 

Conclusions: The CIGB-258 peptide reduces the time until patients are discharged and reduces the risk of death. The model shows the impact of treatment on the survival of patients with COVID-19.
