Statistically significant lower risk is seen for recovery. 2 studies from 2 independent teams in 2 countries show significant improvements.
Meta analysis using the most serious outcome reported shows 27% [-8‑50%] lower risk, without reaching statistical significance. Results are similar for Randomized Controlled Trials. Early treatment is more effective than late treatment.
1 RCT with 3,060 patients has not reported results (2 years late)1.
No treatment or intervention is 100% effective. All practical, effective, and safe means should be used based on risk/benefit analysis. Multiple treatments are typically used in combination, and other treatments are more effective.
