Survival or need for mechanical ventilation in comprehensive analysis colchicine and control groups. Hospitalization days were nonnormally distributed. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to check for differences in the two groups. The χ2 test was used to check for differences in the number of intubations, patients expired, and patients intubated in the two groups and mortality in intubated patients.
| Colchicine group (N = 34) | Control group (N = 78) | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hospitalization days (median) | 10.5 | 11 | 0.947 |
| Discharged (percentage) | 18 (52.9) | 15 (19.2) | 0.0003 |
| Expired (percentage) | 16 (47.1) | 63 (80.8) | 0.0003 |
| Intubated (percentage) | 16 (47.1) | 68 (87.2) | <0.0001 |
| Mortality in intubated patients (percentage) | 15/16 (93.8) | 60/68 (88.2) | 0.455 |
