Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical cure rate

    Definition of clinical cure: The viral load of the respiratory specimen was negative for two consecutive times (the interval between the two tests was greater than or equal to one day), the lung image improved, and the body temperature returned to normal for more than 3 days, and the clinical manifestation improved.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Viral nucleic acid test negative conversion rate and days from positive to negative

    14 days after taking medicine

  • Duration of fever

    14 days after taking medicine

  • Lung imaging improvement time

    14 days after taking medicine

  • Mortality rate because of Corona Virus Disease 2019

    3 months

  • Rate of non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation when respiratory failure occurs

    3 months

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
