ARI absolute risk increase
Treatment effectiveness at various time lags since the first positive RT-PCR swab test was measured by rate of events in the experimental arm (EER) and in the control arm (CER), absolute risk increase (ARI) = (EER − CER), and number needed to treat (NNT) = (1/ARI).

SPPB short physical performance battery
The repeated measures analysis of variance revealed significant Group*Time interactions for all the outcomes: (handgrip dominant: F = 17.395, p 0.001, η2 = 0.24; handgrip non-dominant: F = 33.197, p 0.001, η2 = 0.33; 4 m walk test (4WT): F = 13.039, p = 0.001, η2 = 0.16; short physical performance battery (SPPB): F = 26.421, p 0.001, η2 = 0.28; the five chair-raise test (5CRT): F = 5.628, p = 0.004, η2 = 0.08; FRAIL scale: F = 11.249, p = 0.001, η2 = 0.14): patients in the experimental group experienced greater improvements in all outcomes than those assigned to the control group.

mITT modified intention-to-treat
In the 188 de novo patients included in modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population, when compared with placebo, 60 mg/day CEP slightly shortened the time to negative (difference=-0.77 days, hazard ratio (HR)=1.40, 95% CI 0.97 to 2.01, p=0.072), and 120 mg/day CEP did not show the trend.
