PSM matched analysis from consecutive hospitalized patients, with 33 colchicine and 33 control matched patients, showing lower mortality with treatment.

Brunetti et al., 9/14/2020, retrospective, USA, North America, peer-reviewed, 7 authors.

risk of death, 72.7% lower, RR 0.27, p = 0.03, treatment 3 of 33 (9.1%), control 11 of 33 (33.3%).

risk of no hospital discharge, 72.7% lower, RR 0.27, p = 0.03, treatment 3 of 33 (9.1%), control 11 of 33 (33.3%).

Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. For an individual study the most serious outcome may have a smaller number of events and lower statistical signficance, however this provides the strongest evidence for the most serious outcomes when combining the results of many trials.

Elimination of COVID-19 is a race against viral evolution. No treatment, vaccine, or intervention is 100% available and effective for all current and future variants. Denying the efficacy of any method increases the risk of COVID-19 becoming endemic; and increases mortality, morbidity, and collateral damage. We do not provide medical advice.
