RCT 150 outpatients in Iran comparing N-acetylcysteine and bromhexine, showing lower hospitalization and faster recovery with bromhexine, without statistical significance. Baseline information per group is not provided, and Figure 1 appears to have the two groups switched and an incorrect value for the not hospitalized total in one group. N-acetylcysteine 600mg daily for 5 days, bromhexine 8mg tid for 5 days.
Bromhexine may be less effective for omicron due to the entry process moving towards TMPRSS2-independent fusion. This study is excluded in the after exclusion results of meta analysis: results unclear due to errors in the preprint, baseline group details not provided.
risk of hospitalization, 45.5% lower, RR 0.55, p = 0.30, treatment 6 of 75 (8.0%), control 11 of 75 (14.7%), NNT 15.
recovery time, 14.9% lower, relative time 0.85, p = 0.09, treatment 75, control 75.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates

Abstract: Evaluation of the recovery rate and prevention of hospitalization among covid-19 outpatients: a randomized clinical trial comparing Nacetylcysteine with Bromhexine Anahita Eslami Ghayour (  anahitaeslami1995@gmail.com ) Hamedan University of medical science Sasan Nazari Hamedan University of medical science Fariba Keramat Hamedan University of medical science Fatemeh Shahbazi Hamedan University of medical science Research Article Keywords: COVID-19, N-acetylcysteine, Bromhexine, Infection diseases Posted Date: January 3rd, 2023 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-2309373/v1 License:   This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/12 Abstract Objectives: Due to the referral of COVID-19 patients to outpatient centers in the early stages, the aim of the present study is to compare the effect of N-acetylcysteine and Bromhexine on the recovery rate and prevention of hospitalization in outpatients with COVID-19 Methodology: This study was conducted from April 2022 to September 2022. First, PCR-confirmed COVID-19 patients were divided into two groups, one of these groups received N-acetylcysteine while the other received bromhexine. The patients were followed up on the seventh and fourteenth days of the disease in terms of the duration of changes in oxygen saturation and recovery. The hospitalization and death of the patients were also evaluated after one month. Results: Out of 150 studied patients, oxygen saturation was increased by 1.33% in the third visit of the patients who received N-acetylcysteine compared to their first visit. This percentage was 1.19% in the patients who received bromhexine.11.33% of the patients were admitted to the hospital and 88.6% of them had no history of hospitalization within 14 day and their mortality rate was zero. Conclusions: The results of this study showed that early initiation of Bromhexine can effectively reduce the hospitalization rate and shorten the duration of hospitalization.
