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.
