Association Between Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 RNA Results at Days 0 and 3 and Subsequent Hospitalization/Death Through Day 28

“<LLoQ” represents results below the lower limit of quantification (2 log10 copies/mL). Event outcome was hospitalization or death between days 4 and 28. Analyses were restricted to participants with no event before or on day 3.

Unadjusted models 1 and 2 include covariates corresponding to day 0 AN RNA only and day 3 AN RNA only, respectively. The mutually adjusted model includes covariates corresponding to both day 0 and day 3 AN RNA. Separate models were fit for each arm (mAb-treated and placebo). For the day 3 AN RNA only model involving placebo recipients, the 95% CIs and 2-sided Wald test P values are from Poisson regression due to convergence issues with log-binomial regression. All other 95% CIs and 2-sided Wald test P values are from log-binomial regression. Risk ratios with 95% CIs that do not include 1 are bolded.

Abbreviations: AN, anterior nasal; CI, confidence interval; LLoQ, lower limit of quantification; mAb, monoclonal antibody.
