Table 3.

COVID-19 severity outcome of patients in prediabetes and PCOS cohorts for metformin or levothyroxine (3A) and metformin or ondansetron (3B). Cohen’s D is also reported as an estimate of the effect-size; large effect sizes (absolute value of Cohen’s D > 0.8) are indicated by an asterisk. Values<20 patients are obscured to reduce the risk of patient reidentification.
