Early termination leading to small number of participants. Some patients did not attend follow-up and were only contacted by phone, therefore clinical data not available for all participants at follow-up.

Registered outcomes1

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryTreatment FailureAt routine follow-up 3 and 5 days post-ingestion or earlier if necessary
A treatment failure was a patient who at any time deteriorated necessitating a change to the treatment regimen. This was determined by assessing reported symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, wheeze and fever) and comparing clinical signs (respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, wheeze, flaring, grunting, recessions, crepitations, temperature, mental status) to signs at presentation.
