Nevertheless, there are contradictory results on its therapeutic effect. Most studies include only a small percentage of patients treated with NAC and the doses used as well as the duration and route of administration vary among the different works. A study conducted in Brazil on 135 severe patients who received intravenous NAC in two initial doses showed no differences in regard to progress and mortality.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> Other studies have reported improvements in mortality and inflammatory patterns, although findings were not statistically significant.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22,23</span></a> A Greek study on 82 patients who received the same dose of NAC as in this study (1200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/day orally) showed a reduction in mortality and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> One of the studies with the largest number of cases included 2071 patients treated with NAC at a dose of 1800<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/day.

In general, a minimum NAC dose of 1200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/day orally is recommended. In patients with severe disease and respiratory compromise, an intravenous NAC dose of 100<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/kg can be used for at least three days.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a></p><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Two meta-analyses have recently been published. The work by Paraskevas<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a> included eight studies and showed no significant differences in favor of NAC, though the authors recognize the low level of evidence (mainly due to the small number of patients) and the need for future research. The work by Chen<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26</span></a> also showed no differences in mortality, need for intubation, or length of hospital stay. However, the clinical trial by Panahi which included 250 patients and in which the treatment group received nebulized NAC did show benefits in the decrease in mortality and inflammatory parameters.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></a> At present, there are various clinical trials on the use of NAC in COVID-19 which will help clarify these issues.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">28</span></a></p><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study has several limitations. First, it is an observational study. Therefore, the results obtained must be confirmed by future randomized, controlled clinical trials. Second, patients were treated according to the protocols in force at the hospital, which included other drugs with a possible beneficial effect in COVID-19. To minimize this limitation, patients were divided into treatment subgroups according to whether they received NAC or not and this variable was used to adjust the multivariate analysis. Third, patients with the new Delta and Omicron variants were not included, though the available evidence shows that NAC may have the same effect on these variants.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19,24</span></a> This study also had strengths. The sample included a large number of patients and it was homogeneous and representative of patients in the first wave, in which the effect of NAC could be studied as there were no specific treatments for these patients yet. The information collected was exhaustive and all data were reviewed and verified, especially data regarding treatment received. Grouping patients with similar treatments made it possible to note the effect of NAC. At present, thanks to the evolution of COVID-19, it is difficult to recruit a group of patients with these characteristics.</p><p id="par0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion, the use of NAC at high doses in patients with COVID-19 decreased mortality and was associated with more favorable progress. Future randomized clinical trials or prospective studies may help confirm the role of NAC in these patients.
