Résumé

Disease heterogeneity in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may render the current one-size-fits-all treatment approach suboptimal. We aimed to identify and immunologically characterize clinical phenotypes among critically ill COVID-19 patients, and to assess heterogeneity of corticosteroid treatment effect. We applied consensus k-means clustering on 21 clinical parameters obtained within 24 h after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) from 13,279 COVID-19 patients admitted to 82 Dutch ICUs from February 2020 to February 2022. Derived phenotypes were reproduced in 6225 COVID-19 ICU patients from Spain (February 2020 to December 2021). Longitudinal immunological characterization was performed in three COVID-19 ICU cohorts from the Netherlands and Germany, and associations between corticosteroid treatment and survival were assessed across phenotypes. We derived three phenotypes: COVIDICU1 (43% of patients) consisted of younger patients with the lowest Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) scores, highest body mass index (BMI), lowest PaO Our multinational study identified three distinct clinical COVID-19 phenotypes, each exhibiting marked differences in demographic, clinical, and immunological features, and in the response to late and short-term corticosteroid treatment.
