PSM retrospective 29 hospitals in Saudi Arabia, showing higher mortality with favipiravir treatment, without statistical significance.
Potential risks of favipiravir include the creation of dangerous variants, and mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, and embryotoxicity1-5.
Study covers convalescent plasma, remdesivir, favipiravir, and HCQ.
risk of death, 14.0% higher, RR 1.14, p = 0.13, treatment 326 of 1,159 (28.1%), control 316 of 1,380 (22.9%), adjusted per study, odds ratio converted to relative risk, propensity score matching, multivariable.
risk of progression, 1.9% higher, RR 1.02, p = 0.83, treatment 475 of 1,159 (41.0%), control 499 of 1,380 (36.2%), adjusted per study, odds ratio converted to relative risk, AKI, ARDS, multi-organ failure, or mortality, propensity score matching, multivariable.
ICU time, 18.6% higher, relative time 1.19, p = 0.005, treatment 668, control 633, propensity score matching.
hospitalization time, 28.8% higher, relative time 1.29, p < 0.001, treatment 1,159, control 1,380, propensity score matching.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates
