, Sleep for COVID-19: real-time meta analysis of 13 studies, (Preprint) (meta analysis)
• Statistically significant improvements are seen for mortality, hospitalization, and cases. 10 studies from 10 independent teams in 4 different countries show statistically significant improvements in isolation (9 for the most serious outcome).• Meta analysis using the most serious outcome reported shows 31% [22‑40%] improvement. Results are similar for peer-reviewed studies. • Results are robust — in exclusion sensitivity analysis 11 of 13 studies must be excluded to avoid finding statistically significant efficacy in pooled analysis.• Studies analyze sleep quality before infection, and use different definitions of sleep quality. • No treatment, vaccine, or intervention is 100% effective and available. All practical, effective, and safe means should be used based on risk/benefit analysis. • All data to reproduce this paper and sources are in the appendix.
