Comments on: “Early High-Titer Convalescent Plasma Therapy in Patients with Moderate and Severe COVID-19” [Transfusion and Apheresis Science 61 (2022) 103321] by Seyed Reza Hosseiniara

“…Specifically, the mortality rates were reported as 13.7% for the moderate group and a staggering 86.3% for the severe group, culminating in an overall death rate of 29.7%.1 In contrast, a previous study by the same research group in 2020 reported a mortality rate of 24.3% in a control group that did not receive convalescent plasma but was treated with standard care.2 The similarities in the study settings for both investigations suggest that convalescent plasma therapy may have had no significant impact on mortality rates, potentially even contributing to higher mortality among Iranian patients.The lack of a control group receiving standard treatment in Fazeli et al.'…”
