Is convalescent plasma futile in COVID-19? A Bayesian re-analysis of the RECOVERY randomized controlled trial
Abstract
Highlights • The RECOVERY trial reported that convalescent plasma had no effect on mortality in COVID-19.• A re-analysis of the data using Bayesian methods suggests there is a real possibility of benefit.• The probability of any benefit of plasma in seronegative patients in this trial was more than 75%.
