Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| prevalence and time to SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion (IgG and/or IgM) compared between groups. We will test for differences between groups (dichotomous & survival data), assuming a 10% minimally relevant difference. If groups are not statistically different we will use non-inferiority analysis methods to test whether the difference between groups is within the non-inferiority margin of 10%. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| presence of non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus antibodies and its association with SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion and disease severity. Influence of self-reported exposure to COVID-19 patients as a continuous determinant on SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion. | — |
