3.4 Comparison of treatment of novel coronavirus infections
The use of intravenous hormones was significantly higher (42.8% vs.
6.0%, p=0.000), as was the use of small molecules such as Azvudine and
Paxlovid, compared to the general population. The use of monoclonal
antibodies and proglobulin was also higher than in the general
population. However, the rate of oxygenation was significantly higher in
the general population than in the renal transplant population.
In terms of overall length of illness, the time from symptom onset to
hospital discharge was significantly longer in renal transplant patients
than in the general population, with a statistically significant
difference (p =0.000); renal transplant patients also had a
slightly delayed visit to the hospital, with a longer time from symptom
onset to admission than in the general population, again with a
statistically significant difference (p =0.000). See Table 2 for
details.
