Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the reduction of days with severe respiratory infectious diseases at hospital and/or at home in elderly subjects during the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2;Secondary Objective: To assess the reduction of disease severity, the duration of hospital admission, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, or death in elderly subjects during the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2;Primary end point(s): Number of days with severe respiratory disease at hospital and/or at home;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From day 0 to day 240

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Cumulative incidence of hospital admissions • Cumulative incidence of documented SARS-CoV-2 infection • Number of days with self-reported fever (= 38 ºC) • Number of days with self-reported acute respiratory symptoms • Cumulative incidence of self-reported acute respiratory symptoms • Cumulative incidence of death for any reason • Cumulative incidence of death due to documented SARS-CoV-2 infection • Cumulative incidence of ICU admission for any reason • Cumulative incidence of ICU admission due to documented SARS-CoV-2 infection • Cumulative incidence of hospital admission due to documented SARS-CoV-2 infection;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From day 0 to day 240
