Background: Previous research suggested that Chinese Medicine (CM) Formula Huashibaidu granule might shorten the disease course in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. This research aimed to investigate the early treatment effect of Huashibaidu granule in well-managed patients with mild COVID-19.Methods: An unblinded cluster-randomized clinical trial was conducted at the Dongxihu FangCang hospital. Two cabins were randomly allocated to a CM or control group, with 204 mild COVID-19 participants in each cabin. All participants received conventional treatment over a 7 day period, while the ones in CM group were additionally given Huashibaidu granule 10 g twice daily. Participants were followed up to their clinical endpoint. The primary outcome was worsening symptoms before the clinical endpoint. The secondary outcomes were cure and discharge before the clinical endpoint and alleviation of composite symptoms after the 7 days of treatment.Results: All 408 participants were followed up to their clinical endpoint and included in statistical analysis. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups (P > 0.05). The number of worsening patients in the CM group was 5 (2.5%), and that in the control group was 16 (7.8%) with a significant difference between groups (P = 0.014). Eight foreseeable mild adverse events occurred without statistical difference between groups (P = 0.151).Conclusion: Seven days of early treatment with Huashibaidu granule reduced the likelihood of worsening symptoms in patients with mild COVID-19. Our study supports Huashibaidu granule as an active option for early treatment of mild COVID-19 in similar well-managed medical environments.Clinical Trial Registration:www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=49408, identifier: ChiCTR2000029763.

Objective: to develop algorithm of presentation of baseline characteristics of patients which enrolled in prospective non-randomized clinical trial AMIRI CABG (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03050489). Materials and methods. Data collection was performed according to prospective non-randomized clinical trial AMIRI CABG in Pavlov First St. Petersburg State Medical University, Saint Petersburg, Russia between 2016-2019 years with 336 patients. Patients were allocated into three groups of treatment. There is database with clinical, laboratory and instrumental data. Comparison for nominal data (gender and incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke) were calculated with SAS Enterprise Guide 6.1 software with Chi-squared test and exact Fisher test. Baseline characteristics were presented in table. Results. There was developed algorithm of baseline characteristics presentation in APA-table. Conclusion. There was developed algorithm of baseline characteristics presentation SAS Enterprise Guide 6.1 could be useful for manuscript preparing for Russian and foreign journal.
