Table 3.
Comparison of medications received during the hospitalization across the comprehensive analysis colchicine and control groups. Hydroxychloroquine doses received and total equivalent prednisone dose received were nonnormally distributed. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare the two groups. The χ2 test was used to check for differences in the number of patients receiving steroids, insulin, anticoagulation, enoxaparin, subcutaneous heparin, and direct acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Fisher's exact test to check for differences in the number of patients receiving hydroxychloroquine, oseltamivir, intravenous heparin, and warfarin.
