📢 Remarque sur la communication de l'essai #ColCORONA

La Colchicine entraîne une réduction de 25% des hospitalisations si on communique en terme de risque relatif mais ça équivaut à éviter 1 hospitalisation pour 80 personnes traitées si on prend un taux d'hospitalisation de 5%
Ici l'hospitalisation est un événement rare (~5% dans l'essai), on peut approximer le rapport des chances "Odds Ratio" par des risques relatifs (RR)

Chez les patients avec test confirmé : OR=0.75, soit une réduction du RR de -25% entre les groupes traités vs non traités
▪️ En différence de risque absolu, ça revient à une réduction absolue du risque (RAR) de -25%*5%=-1,25%

ça fait moins sexy ✨

▪️ Si on exprime ça en Nombre de sujets à traiter (NNT), c'est l'inverse du RAR, soit 1/0,0125=80

➡️ On évite 1 hospitalisation tous les 80 traités

To cap a weekend of #colchicine-induced GI upset from the press release of #ColCorona trial relative %s approaching statistical significance for #COVID19... started getting messages regarding #Maduro's announcement this evening of #Carvativir, Jose Gregorio's miraculous drops
He plans to distribute the new wonder anti-#COVID19 treatment widely throughout #Venezuela this week. He mentioned the drug is given as drops sublingually every 4 hours...

The news on #Carvativir is likely to generate multiple creative responses from many, likely to compete with the #BernieMeme from the last few days.

If you look closely at the bottle, #Carvativir's active ingredient is #isotimol (#isothymol), at a concentration of 5mg/mL.
