Abstract
Aims: To compare the effectiveness of molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir‐ritonavir for non‐hospitalized and hospitalized COVID‐19 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Materials and Methods: Territory‐wide electronic health records in Hong Kong were used to perform target trial emulation using a sequential trial approach. Patients (1) aged ≥18 years, (2) with T2DM, (3) with COVID‐19 infection, and (4) who received molnupiravir or nirmatrelvir‐ritonavir within 5 days of infection between 16 March 2022 and 31 December 2022 in non‐hospital and hospital settings were included. Molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir‐ritonavir initiators were matched using one‐to‐one propensity‐score matching and followed for 28 days. Risk of outcomes was compared between groups by Cox regression adjusted for baseline characteristics. Subgroup analyses were performed on age (
