Does pre-existent physical inactivity have a role in the severity of COVID-19?
et al., Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, doi:10.1177/17534666211025221
Retrospective 164 COVID-19 patients in China, showing physical inactivity associated with an increased risk of severe COVID-19.

risk of death, 90.5% lower, RR 0.09, p = 0.09, high activity levels 0 of 61 (0.0%), low activity levels 6 of 103 (5.8%), NNT 17, relative risk is not 0 because of continuity correction due to zero events (with reciprocal of the contrasting arm), excluded in exclusion analyses:
excessive unadjusted differences between groups.

risk of severe case, 70.0% lower, RR 0.30, p = 0.03, high activity levels 3 of 61 (4.9%), low activity levels 26 of 103 (25.2%), NNT 4.9, adjusted per study, odds ratio converted to relative risk, multivariable.
