Baseline symptoms

COVID-19 symptoms within 72 hr preceding the baseline visit. Although the IPE group was slightly more symptomatic, the entire study population presented with a large number of baseline symptoms. Almost all patients (98% and 94% in the IPE group and usual care group, respectively) had myalgia. Over half of individuals in both groups had the presence of a cough. Within the IPE arm, 50 ± 2% of patients experienced loss of taste, loss of smell, or a fever. These symptoms were present in approximately one-third of the usual care arm. The remaining categories (sore throat and shortness of breath) displayed not more than a 40% prevalence in either group. All between-group comparisons were non-significant. Data shown are for the intention-to-treat population.
