Description
Summary:The objective: to analyze efficacy of ascorbic acid or its combination with glucocorticoids and thiamine on clinical outcomes in patients with sepsis and septic shock.Subjects and Methods. The literature search was carried out in the database of MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library systems. It is limited to published articles from January 1, 2008 to March 1, 2022. The selection criteria were observational studies in patients over 18 years of age with septic shock, if they provide data on the use of ascorbic acid in the form of monotherapy or in combination with hydrocortisone and thiamine.Conclusion. The review includes 18 publications, including 3 meta-analyses on the use of ascorbic acid or its combination with hydrocortisone and thiamine in patients in the adjuvant therapy program for sepsis and septic shock. Clinical efficacy has been proven in 11 studies. However, 7 publications did not show global changes in the outcomes of sepsis and septic shock therapy compared to basic therapy. Currently, there is a need for further research.
