Secondary outcome: worsening symptoms
Odds ratio 59 (16.8) 39 (15.4) 1.11 (0.72, 1.73), 0.63 1.23 (0.78, 1.94), 0.38 1.22 (0.77, 1.94), 0.39

*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.
