Comparison of score and time to death in the 3 groups

	Group 1	Group 2	Group 3
	(no antivenom)	(low dose)	(high dose)
Number of cases	33	26	17
Score at presentation	Cured patients = ?	Cured patients = 4 [2–5]	Cured patients = 2.5 [1.3-4]
Median [Q:0.25-0.75]	Fatalities = 5 [3–6]*	Fatalities = 4.5 [2.8-6]	Fatalities = 4 [3–4.5]
Mean of antivenom ± SD [95%CI]	0	26.2 ± 5.9 mL	41.2 ± 2.3 mL
Number of fatalities	9 (27.3%)	4 (15.4%)	3 (17.6%)
Time to presentation	–	Cured patients = 5 [3.3-9.3]	Cured patients = 3 [3.3-10]
Median [Q: 0.25-0.75]		Fatalities = 2.5 [2–6.8]	Fatalities = 2 [2–8]
Time to death	8 [7–13.5]	5.5 [3.3-7]	4 [4–4]
Median [Q:0.25-0.75]
