Although some studies have reported prognostic factors for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), they were conducted before standard treatment with remdesivir and dexamethasone was implemented. This retrospective, observational study was conducted to evaluate various prognostic factors in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia receiving standard treatment with remdesivir and dexamethasone. Of 99 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, 68 (68.7%) died within 30 days of hospitalization. The mean age was 71.3 years. Remdesivir and dexamethasone were administered to 80 (80.8%) and 84 (84.8%) patients, respectively. Early antibiotic treatment was administered to 70 patients (70.7%) within 5 days of hospitalization. Dexamethasone (79.4% vs 96.8%, P = .033) was more frequently administered in the survived group, whereas early antibiotics (60.3% vs 93.5%, P = .001) were less frequently administered. In the multivariate analysis, a high National Early Warning Score (NEWS; odds ratio [OR] 1.272), high Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI; OR 1.441), and dyspnea (OR 4.033) were independent risk factors for 30-day mortality. There was no significant difference in age, sex, and vaccination doses between the survived and fatal groups. Lymphopenia, monocytopenia and high levels of C-reactive protein (CRP)/lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) reflected poor prognosis. NEWS, CCI, and dyspnea were predictors of 30-day mortality in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Early antibiotic use did not lower the 30-day mortality risk.
