Objective: To describe outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the outpatient setting after early treatment with zinc, low dose hydroxychloroquine, and azithromycin (the triple therapy) dependent on risk stratification. Design: Retrospective case series study. Setting: General practice. Participants: 141 COVID-19 patients with laboratory confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in the year 2020. .....
One patient (0.7%) died in the treatment group versus 13 patients (3.5%) in the untreated group (odds ratio 0.2, 95% CI 0.03-1.5; p=0.16). There were no cardiac side effects. Conclusions: Risk stratification-based treatment of COVID-19 outpatients as early as possible after symptom onset with the used triple therapy, including the combination of zinc with low dose hydroxychloroquine, was associated with significantly less hospitalizations and 5 times less all-cause deaths.

Doesn't make sense to have a 95% CI that doesn't include 0, but a p-value that high?
NM, the 95% CI of the odds ratio includes 1. Was thinking about it in terms of linear estimates.

That’s just deaths.
Difference in risk of hospitalization was statistically significantly different.

NM. I need to read better befor asking questions. .16 odds ratio, with a 95% CI of .06 to .5.

I’d imagine there would have been a statistical significance with deaths with 100-150 more patients in each group
