Key Points Question Does time to clinical improvement or time to death differ among hospitalized patients treated with vs without remdesivir (alone or with corticosteroids) for coronavirus disease 2019 outside of a clinical trial? Findings In this multicenter comparative effectiveness research study that included 2483 consecutive admissions with a high proportion of non-White individuals, treatment with remdesivir was associated with more rapid clinical improvement than no remdesivir receipt in propensity score–matched controls. The addition of corticosteroids to remdesivir was not associated with improved time to death. Meaning Remdesivir administration is associated with more rapid clinical improvement than no remdesivir receipt among patients with coronavirus disease 2019.
