Summary

This retrospective real-world target trial emulation uses complete Czech nationwide registry data to evaluate whether molnupiravir treatment is associated with lower COVID-19 mortality during the Omicron era. The study compares adults with confirmed acute COVID-19 treated with molnupiravir in addition to standard care versus matched controls treated with standard care without molnupiravir. Patients are followed for three months from time zero, and primary endpoints are the COVID-19 case fatality rate and all-cause mortality.
