In-Hospital Treatment Patterns Among Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States.

Challenge

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, treatment patterns for hospitalized patients evolved rapidly and inconsistently across US hospitals, but a real-world characterization of in-hospital treatment utilization across a large nationally representative hospital network was lacking.

Solution

Target RWE researchers analyzed hospital chargemaster data to describe in-hospital treatment patterns among COVID-19 patients across US hospitals, including antiviral, corticosteroid, and supportive care utilization over time.
