COVID-19 convalescent plasma to treat hospitalised COVID-19 patients with or without underlying immunodeficiency
RCT 120 hospitalized patients in France, showing no significant difference in outcomes with convalescent plasma treatment, with the exception of lower mortality in the subgroup of immunosuppressed patients.
