Logistic regression analysis to identify the association between the duration of use of AYUSH-based measures and the outcome of COVID-19 testing.

Variable		COVID-19–positive (n=12,002)	COVID-19–negative (n=12,366)
Duration of use of AYUSH^a-based measures^b,c
	More than 30 days	3901 (32.5)	5221 (42.2)
	Less than 30 days	8101 (67.5)	7145 (57.8)
Comorbidities
	Absent	5679 (47.3)	10131 (81.9)
	Present	6323 (52.7)	2235 (18.1)
Risk category
	Not in a risk category	4866 (40.5)	10203 (82.5)
	In a risk category	7136 (59.5)	2163 (17.5)

^aAYUSH: Ayurveda, yoga and naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa, and homoeopathy.

^bCrude odds ratio (95% CI) 1.52 (1.44-1.60). The crude odds ratio was computed through univariate logistic regression analysis by taking the outcome of the COVID-19 test (positive or negative) as the dependent variable and the duration of use of AYUSH measures as the independent variable.

^cAdjusted odds ratio (95% CI) 0.90 (0.85-0.95). The adjusted odds ratio was computed through multivariate analysis adjusted for the presence of comorbidities and risk category as confounders.
