Encyclopaedic information

Older patients and those with chronic medical conditions have a higher risk for hospitalization and death; however, SARS-CoV-2 infection may cause severe disease and death in patients of any age, even in the absence of any risk factors.

Examples

A large randomized trial evaluating colchicine in outpatients with COVID-19 (COLCORONA) did not reach its primary efficacy endpoint of reducing hospitalizations and death.

Source: https://files.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/guidelines/covid19treatmentguidelines.pdf

Endpoint events occurred in three of 291 participants (1%) in the sotrovimab arm and 21 of 292 participants (7%) in the placebo arm (P = 0.002), resulting in a 6% absolute reduction and an 85% relative reduction in hospitalizations or death among the sotrovimab recipients compared to the placebo recipients.
