3rd treatment shown to reduce risk in July 2020
 
*, now known with p < 0.00000000001 from 88 studies.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine complementary and synergistic treatments. * >10% efficacy in meta analysis with ≥3 clinical studies.

Retrospective 529 hospitalized COVID-19 patients with type 2 diabetes, showing no significant difference in outcomes with metformin use. This does not account for the different risk of being hospitalized based on metformin use.
Authors note that "there is a lower-than-expected proportion of metformin prescription in our population (28%) compared to the general US population", without noting that this may reflect the lower risk of being hospitalized for metformin patients, as shown in other studies c19early.org.
risk of death, 1.0% higher, OR 1.01, p = 0.98, treatment 148, control 381, RR approximated with OR.
risk of mechanical ventilation, 4.0% higher, OR 1.04, p = 0.87, treatment 148, control 381, RR approximated with OR.
risk of ICU admission, 8.0% lower, OR 0.92, p = 0.72, treatment 148, control 381, RR approximated with OR.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates
