Early-treatment physicians treated patients on presentation, while late-treatment physicians followed official guidance with treatment only on hospitalization. Groups are not randomized. Results are subject to selection and ascertainment bias and accurate analysis requires details of the patient populations and followup, however the results are consistent across many teams, and consistent with the extensive controlled clinical evidence showing a significant reduction in risk with many early treatments, and complementary/synergistic benefits with combined treatment.
Physicians using early combined treatment protocols had much lower
hospitalization and mortality rates compared with those following guidelines focusing on
late treatment.

patients1.

but has not provided specific numbers2.
