(CNN) New research released on Wednesday confirms that common, affordable steroids can reduce deaths among critically ill Covid-19 patients. Among 678 patients treated with steroids, 32.7% died. These results suggest steroids should be part of standard care for critically ill Covid-19 patients, researchers wrote. It does not recommend using these steroids in patients with non-severe Covid-19, and said this was an area where further research was needed. Covid-19 patients who came into hospitals could always be treated with corticosteroids.
