Retrospective 1,779 prostate cancer patients, showing no significant differences in COVID-19 outcomes with ADT.
Standard of Care (SOC) for COVID-19 in the study country,
the USA, is
very poor with
very low average efficacy for approved treatments
1.
Only expensive, high-profit treatments were approved. Low-cost treatments were excluded, reducing the probability of treatment—especially early—due to access and cost barriers, and eliminating complementary and synergistic benefits seen with many low-cost treatments.

risk of death, 123.9% higher, RR 2.24, p = 0.12, treatment 6 of 304 (2.0%), control 13 of 1,475 (0.9%).

risk of case, 6.6% lower, RR 0.93, p = 0.80, treatment 17 of 304 (5.6%), control 85 of 1,475 (5.8%), NNT 586, adjusted per study, odds ratio converted to relative risk, multivariable.
