In a clinical trial with a sample of 199 patients hospitalized for severe SARS-CoV-2, showed no statistically significant difference in the main results. The group treated with LR had a numerically lower mortality at 28 days (19.2% vs. 25%), the average delay in intensive care was less (6 vs. 11 days) and the percentage of patients with clinical improvement at 14 days was greater (45.5 vs. 30%). All these results allow us to believe in the possibility that, if the study had continued with the ...
