Simulated power (%)a results for the more severe placebo group on day 7 of follow-up (p07b  = 0.42).c

Model T1: Constant benefitd T2: Benefit only for first three days T3: Linear decrease in benefit T4: Larger benefit for hospitalized patients T5: Benefit only for ICU and non-ICU, on oxygen patients T6: Benefit only for last three days T7: Linear increase in benefit

a

Power (%): percentage of the 10,000 simulated datasets in which the Wald test statistic for the estimated treatment effect of the fitted model was significant at the two-sided 0.05 level. Power for the top three models for each treatment effect with or without adjustment for baseline health status is printed in bold.

b

p07 denotes the probability of discharge (i.e., categories 5 and 6 of the ordinal endpoint combined) by day 7 of follow-up for the placebo group.

c

Supplementary Table 2 displays the category percentages for the more severe placebo group on day 7 and each of the seven IVIG groups.

d

Benefit refers to the differences in transition probabilities between randomized groups across treatment effects.

e

Unlike all other models which include a covariate to adjust for baseline status, the win ratio stratifies by only comparing patients who started at the same baseline category between randomized groups.
