Azvudine for COVID-19
44th treatment shown to reduce risk in July 2023, now with p = 0.000011 from 26 studies.
Lower risk for mortality, progression, and viral clearance.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.
5,100+ studies for 109 treatments. c19early.org
PSM retrospective 332 hospitalized moderate to critically ill COVID-19 patients with myocardial injury in China, showing improved 14 day mortality but no difference in overall in-hospital mortality with azvudine treatment.
risk of death, 6.5% lower, RR 0.94, p = 0.88, treatment 29 of 99 (29.3%), control 31 of 99 (31.3%), NNT 49, in-hospital mortality, propensity score matching.
risk of death, 63.0% lower, HR 0.37, p = 0.007, treatment 99, control 99, propensity score matching, day 14.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates
