Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
This project, which is actually a clinical trial, aims to investigate the effects of sertraline on the prognosis of patients with Covid-19, which requires hospitalization depending on the patient's clinical condition, PCR and CT scan results, or clinical diagnosis. In the hospital, patients are divided into intervention and control groups based on permutation block.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
Because the patient is not asked to evaluate the consequences of the plan and is judged based on the patient's clinical examinations, patient blindness is not required. Only the evaluator of the results should be blindfolded. To do this, another person is used who is unfamiliar with the treatment process and the type of treatment received by the two groups
