Original Title: Baricitinib en pacientes con COVID-19
Authors' recommendations: Moderate-quality evidence suggests that baricitinib associated to the standard of care reduces mortality and the need of mechanical ventilation; additionally it does not increase the incidence of serious adverse events. Most clinical practice guidelines from the United States recommend associating baricitinib to the standard of care in adult hospitalized patients experiencing a rapid progression to oxygen requirement. Most United States health funders cover baricitinib based on the indications approved by the regulatory agencies. The rest of the funders consulted do not mention this technology. One economic evaluation from the United States suggests that baricitinib associated with the standard of care was more effective and less costly than the standard of care alone. No local economic evaluations on the cost-effectiveness of baricitinib have been found for this indication.
