Predicting the response to methylprednisolone pulses in patients with SARS-COV-2 infection
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with methylprednisolone pulses, the capacity of the predictive model for hospital discharge including variables collected at 5 days was (area under the curve) 0.816.PMID:35718548 | DOI:10.1016/j.medcli.2022.02.025
