Evaluation of clinical efficacy and safety of T-705 (Favipiravir) in the treatment of fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome: a propensity score matching study
摘要
Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS), an emerging infectious disease of essential public health concern, currently lacks specific antiviral treatments, This study evaluated the efficacy of the broad-spectrum antiviral drug T-705 (Favipiravir).
MethodsUsing propensity score matching (PSM) to minimize confounding factors between T-705 and Non-T-705 groups, Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression and multivariate logistic regression were used to screen the factors affecting the efficacy of T-705.
ResultsAnalysis revealed a consistently higher disease improvement rate in the T-705 group (82.3% Pre-PSM, 80.6% Post-PSM) compared to Non-T-705 group (67.3%), with the difference remaining statistically significant (P = 0.032) after PSM.
The results demonstrated that Ct values (1.397, 1.168–1.671, P < 0.001), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (1.002, 1.001–1.003, P = 0.027) and albumin (ALB) (1.153, 1.001–1.330, P = 0.050) levels were the protective factor for disease improvement, while clinical type (0.146, 0.045–0.477, P = 0.001), age (0.942, 0.893–0.994, P = 0.030), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) (0.917, 0.873–0.963, P < 0.001), total bilirubin (TBIL) (0.867, 0.752–0.999, P= 0.048), creatinine (CREA) (0.992, 0.985–0.999, P = 0.038) and uric acid (UA) (0.994, 0.990–0.999, P = 0.017) levels were risk factors for disease improvement.
ConclusionsThe study demonstrated that T-705 exhibited significant efficacy and favorable safety in the treatment of SFTS patients. Furthermore, a multivariate logistic regression verified its clinical significance, thereby providing robust evidence to support its inclusion in treatment guidelines.
