However, less is known about its antithrombotic role in patients with COVID-19. Our study aimed to evaluate doxycycline's impact on clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with COVID-19. A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted between March 1, 2020, and July 31, 2021. Patients who received doxycycline in intensive care units (ICUs) were compared to patients who did not (control). The primary outcome was the composite thrombotic events. The secondary outcomes were 30-day and in-hospital mortality, length of stay, ventilator-free days, and complications during ICU stay. Propensity score (PS) matching was used based on the selected criteria. Logistic, negative binomial, and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used as appropriate. After PS (1:3) matching, 664 patients (doxycycline n = 166, control n = 498) were included. The number of thromboembolic events was lower in the doxycycline group (OR: 0.54; 95% CI: 0.26-1.08; P\u2009=\u2009.08); however, it failed to reach to a statistical significance. Moreover, D-dimer levels and 30-day mortality were lower in the doxycycline group (beta coefficient [95% CI]: \u22120.22 [\u22120.46, 0.03; P\u2009=\u2009.08]; HR: 0.73; 95% CI: 0.52-1.00; P\u2009=\u2009.05, respectively). In addition, patients who received doxycycline had significantly lower odds of bacterial\/fungal pneumonia (OR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.44-0.94; P\u2009=\u2009.02). The use of doxycycline as adjunctive therapy in critically ill patients with COVID-19 might may be a desirable therapeutic option for thrombosis reduction and survival benefits.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10760296231177017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,16]],"date-time":"2023-06-16T02:46:24Z","timestamp":1686883584000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Doxycycline\u2019s
