New blog in Nature Microbiology Community: Behind the paper: “Potential health and economic impacts of dexamethasone treatment for patients with COVID-19” https://t.co/CQYZ06zqis

Vaccines dominate the headlines but the significance of this cost-effective option for the management of severe COVID-10 patients and its potential to save lives is key. New research by @rimashretta @rjaaguas @lisawhite1000 @PeterHorby @MartinLandray

[Rima Shretta @rimashretta]

Dexamethasone could have saved 7,647- 22,406 lives translating to GBP 940 per life year gained in the UK. https://t.co/CUOAXW7U96

3/3 Essential now to perform clinical research in low- and middle-income countries with limited access to oxygen and/or ventilators.

[CoMo Consortium @ComoConsortium]

2/3 NEW study by @ComoConsortium researchers in Nature Comms https://t.co/TjjDlUduPE estimates the potential number of lives saved and life-years gained if this treatment were to be rolled out in the UK and globally, as well as the cost-effectiveness of this intervention.

[CoMo Consortium @ComoConsortium]

1/3 In June 2020, the #recoverytrial a large, multicenter, randomized, open-label trial performed in the UK reported that dexamethasone administered for 10 days reduced mortality in hospitalised COVID-19 patients needing oxygen and ventilation by 18% and 36%, respectively.

[Ricardo Aguas @rjaaguas]

A widely used drug for many years that has played a major role in decreasing COVID-19 mortality recently and is incredibly cost effective. Unfortunately was not recommended for use earlier in th the pandemic. https://t.co/gh25ztXyV2

New paper in @GlobalHealthBMJ by @rimashretta @lisawhite1000 @rjaaguas shows how participatory modelling approaches, with in-country experts playing an essential iterative policy-facing role, facilitates decision making to curb #COVID19 https://t.co/BR059F2ovs

The UK lockdown is estimated to cost GBP 18b a month. The insights of economics could have helped and would be essential in any future pandemic. https://t.co/y5iRXvH5xT via @iealondon

New blog on Covid-19 vaccines by @ComoConsortium researchers @rimashretta @lisawhite1000 and Ricardo Aguas @NDMOxford @UniofOxford

[Rima Shretta @rimashretta]

Much to be optimistic about Covid-19 vaccines. Roll-out programs should include increased monitoring, including regular testing of vaccinees to look for asymptomatic infections. See our blog; @CGDev @NDMOxford @kchalkidou @lisawhite1000
