Not sure who this is for, but indomethacin, which I have a prescription for because of occasional arthritis, was the only thing that helped even a little bit when I caught Covid in March of 2020.

Ha ha Tim. It still can’t perform too well with bad images…à la ICU reality mate!
Also, did you know, if you ask ChatGPT what it will do if we try to shut it down…? It will write its own code so making it impossible! Skynet here we come!

This is what I mean by residual confounding. Essentially, the crossover and adjustments mitigate, but don’t completely eliminate the impact of hospital-level variations. 😬🤷♂️😉

Hospitals are bound to have unmeasured or time-varying differences; like changes in staff expertise, patient severity, or protocol adherence flexing during the study—these could still influence the results.

Each hospital serves as its own control by switching between intervention and control periods. So, adjusting for the hospital in the analysis helps reduce confounding from differences in hospital characteristics (e.g., patient mix, protocols), they may not fully account for all variations.

As far as I see it mate, there may be bias in the study results that remain, even after attempts to control for confounding factors. Stuff like hospital-level differences.
