The NIAID remdesivir trial that's been reported everywhere showed a decrease from 15 to 11 days in "recovery" from #COVID19
Here's how they defined "recovery" after switching the primary outcome. Is this reasonable?pic.twitter.com/fnnYqZvMA5

By this description, someone who was in ICU and ventilated who went down to supplementary oxygen only would not be "recovered" but someone who was hospitalized on oxygen who was sent home still on oxygen and significantly limited in their life would be "recovered"
Also, without further information, this description could include people who died after being designated "recovered", because "time to recovery" is the FIRST DAY that this was true. They could get worse after that day
Yeah totally agree. What I want to know is why the prim outcome was changed in this way 2 weeks ago. And are they still going to report the results of the SAME ordinal scale as a secondary outcome.
We don't know why, but yes they still have that original scale in their methods
