In exploratory analyses that did not adjust for multiple comparisons, 3 secondary outcomes (out of 46 examined) were significantly different between groups. At day 28, mortality was 46.3% (38/82) in the placebo group vs 29.8% (25/84) in the vitamin C group (P = .03). The number of ICU-free days to day 28 was 10.7 in the vitamin C group vs 7.7 in the placebo group (P = .03). The number of hospital-free days in the vitamin C group vs the placebo group was 22.6 vs 15.5, respectively (P = .04)
