Our latest study shows that Paxlovid continues to be associated with a significant reduction in mortality (RR 0.43) and hospitalization (0.45). With 0.7% hospitalization rate currently, NNT~250, but lower for higher risk patients. rdcu.be/fikow
You can pair this with our previous studies validating a simple 3 item risk score for outpatients with COVID (age, dyspnea and comorbidities) that you can find for free as a calculator here: ebell-projects.shinyapps.io/…
Using that calculator, the NNT to prevent one hospitalization is 1148 for low risk patients (two-thirds of all patients), 84 for moderate risk and only 20 for high risk. Our Paxlovid study is in J Gen Intern Med: rdcu.be/fikow
