The study was performed by Ontario researchers and published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Scientists concluded that Paxlovid helped prevent COVID-19-related fatalities during the rise of the Omicron variant, between April 4 and Aug. 31, 2022. Data from 8,876 patients treated with nirmatrelvir–ritonavir was compared with the records of 168,669 patients who were not treated with the medication. Most patients included in the research were older than 70 years of age and vaccinated.
Scientists discovered that for every 62 people treated with nirmatrelvir–ritonavir, one case of severe COVID-19 was prevented.
