No. refers to number of participants.

Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval; PY, person-years.

aEvent incidence was estimated as the number of participants with events divided by the total person-years of follow-up at risk, with follow-up time calculated from 1 January 2020 to the first event or last contact, whichever was earlier.

bIncidence rate ratios (reference: placebo) from Poisson models, adjusted for Global Burden of Disease region.

cSerious COVID-19 among those on treatment as of 1 January 2020.
