A pragmatic randomized controlled trial of standard care versus corticosteroids plus standard care for treatment of pneumonia in adults admitted to Kenyan hospitals (SONIA)
Abstract
The background section has been revised to reflect changes to the main text's background section. These changes include recent evidence on the effect of corticosteroids in community acquired pneumonia that informs the justification for the trial. The methodology section now refers to trial arms as 'control' and 'intervention' arm rather than the previous ;stratum A' and 'stratum B' and does not mention the immunology sub-study. The trial's registration numbers for the Pan-African Clinical trials Registry and ISRCTN have been added.
