Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent use may not be associated with mortality of coronavirus disease 19

Abstract Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been widely used in patients with respiratory infection, but their safety in coronavirus disease 19 (Covid-19) patients has not been fully investigated. We evaluated an association between NSAID use and outcomes of Covid-19. This study was...
