RCT 160 hospitalized patients in Brazil, showing no significant difference in outcomes with convalescent plasma.
risk of death, 38.5% higher, RR 1.38, p = 0.42, treatment 18 of 80 (22.5%), control 13 of 80 (16.2%), day 28.
risk of death, 100% higher, RR 2.00, p = 0.28, treatment 10 of 80 (12.5%), control 5 of 80 (6.2%), day 14.
risk of no improvement, 10.7% higher, RR 1.11, p = 0.74, treatment 31 of 80 (38.8%), control 28 of 80 (35.0%), day 28.
hospitalization time, 66.7% higher, relative time 1.67, p = 0.87, treatment 80, control 80.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates

In this open-label, randomised clinical trial, two infusions of convalescent plasma therapy plus standard of care compared to standard of care did not result in higher proportion of clinical improvement on day 28 in patients with severe COVID-19 https://bit.ly/2TXuB6S
