Results

The risk ratio for all-cause hospitalization between the ensitrelvir group (n = 167,385) and the no antiviral treatment group (n = 167,310) after IPTW adjustment was 0.629 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.420, 0.943]. The risk difference was -0.291 [95% CI -0.494, -0.088]. The incidence of both respiratory and heart rate monitoring and oxygen therapy was lower in the ensitrelvir group. Ventilator use, intensive care admission, and all-cause death were difficult to assess because of the limited events.

Baseline Characteristics

From November 2022 to July 2023, during the Omicron dominant period, 167,310 eligible patients were identified in the JMDC claims database. Of those patients, 5177 (3.1%) were treated with ensitrelvir and 162,133 (96.9%) received no antiviral treatment.
In the high-risk for severe COVID-19 population, characteristics of patients were generally similar between those who received ensitrelvir and no antiviral treatment. After IPTW adjustment, the SMDs between the ensitrelvir and no antiviral treatment groups were <0.1 for all characteristics, indicating that the baseline characteristics were well-balanced after adjustment.

Participant flow

Of the 17,025,432 people registered in the JMDC, 1,054,369 people who were diagnosed with COVID-19 between November 22, 2022 and July 31, 2023 were identified, and 167,310 outpatients (excluding those under 18 years of age) with high-risk factors for severe COVID-19 who were not hospitalized on Day 1 were analyzed in this study.
