Results of Subsequent SARS-CoV-2 PCR or Antigen Tests Within 28 Days After Admission Date

7–14-Day SARS-CoV-2-Positive Test Patients, No. (%) 14–21-Day SARS-CoV-2-Positive Test Patients, No. (%) 21–28-Day SARS-CoV-2-Positive Test Patients, No. (%) 7–28-Day SARS-CoV-2-Positive Test Patients, No. (%)
Group 0 (no ondansetron) 250/307 (81.4) 123/167 (73.7) 54/92 (58.8) 427/566 (75.4)
Group 1 (0–8 mg ondansetron/first 48 h) 18/21 (86) 9/14 (64) 3/4 (75) 30/39 (76)
Group 2 (≥8 mg ondansetron/first 48 h) 11/15 (73) 4/8 (50) 0/5 (0) 15/28 (54)

Patients who received ondansetron in the first 48 hours postadmission were less likely to have positive SARS-CoV-2 test results in the subsequent 4 weeks.
