BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) convalescent plasma (CCP) reduces hospitalizations among outpatients treated early after symptom onset. It is unknown whether CCP reduces time to symptom resolution among outpatients. METHODS: We evaluated symptom resolution at day 14 by trial arm using an adjusted subdistribution hazard model, with hospitalization as a competing risk. We also assessed the prevalence of symptom clusters at day 14 between treatments.

One of the most important and often overlooked skills that a pet owner needs is the knowledge and ability to save their dog during an emergency. A pet medical emergency happens every 2.5 seconds in the U.S. (1). This means that every household pet has a 1 in 3 chance of needing emergency veterinary care (2). Medical costs from these events can often balloon past the $10,000 mark.
