*Effect size of outcome in the AP group, compared to the standard of care group. †Adjusting for age, diabetes, hypertension, receiving statins, and receiving ACEIs/ARBs. § Incidence rate of pneumonia per 1,000 person-days (95% confidence interval). ‡Analysis using a Cox’s proportional hazards model in which the fully adjusted model was additionally stratified by diabetes. ¶ Worsening symptoms were the composite of receiving antiviral drugs, systemic corticosteroids, or ventilator support; having oxygen saturation drop along with worsening signs and symptoms; or presenting regressive chest X-ray findings (i.e., category three or above). AP, Andrographis paniculata; CI, confidence interval.
