Supplementing #covid19 monitoring with pulse oximetry did not improve outcomes, an RCT shows. @kit_delgadoMD breaks it down in this excellent thread.

Pulse oximeters are widely used to monitor for low oxygen levels among #Covid19 patients at home. But does pulse oximetry improve outcomes over monitoring for symptoms of shortness of breath? Our team provides some answers today in @NEJM 🧵👇 nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE… #SGIM22

Important new trial shows that "Among patients with Covid-19, the addition of home pulse oximetry to remote monitoring did not result in a greater number of days alive and out of the hospital than subjective assessments of dyspnea alone." #MedTwitter 👉nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
