Home-Based Remedies to Prevent COVID-19-Associated Risk of Infection, Admission, Severe Disease, and Death: A Nested Case-Control Study

Table 5

Logistic regression showing the odds of infection and admission associated with the method of administration of home-based remedies to prevent COVID-19.

Effect of mode of administration of home-based remedy on	Univariate logistic regression	Multivariate logistic regression	AOR [95% CI]	value
