note = "Funding Information: EMW: I have received funding support from the Australian Medical Research Future Fund for a trial of convalescent plasma. I was not involved in bias assessment, data extraction or interpretation, but served as a content expert. Funding Information: European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, Belgium Funding Information: This work is part of a series of reviews investigating treatments and therapies for COVID-19 as part of the project CEOsys (covid-evidenz.de/what-is-ceosys/). Passages in the background section (e.g. {"}Description of the condition{"} and {"}Why it is important to do this review{"}) are shared between reviews in this series.?Specifically, this protocol was previously part of a parent review addressing convalescent plasma and hyperimmune immunoglobulins (hIVIG) for people with COVID-19 (Piechotta 2021). The review has been split to address hIVIG and convalescent plasma separately. Therefore, parts of the 'Background' text are shared between the two reviews. We thank the review authors of the first published reviews in this series for providing and sharing this information. This protocol was published in collaboration with the Cochrane Editorial & Methods Department. We particularly thank the managing editor Lara Kahale of the Central Editorial Service for her support. She managed the editorial process and contributed to the improvement of the protocol. We thank Robin Featherstone (Information Specialist, Cochrane Editorial & Methods Department) for commenting on the search strategy.?We thank the clinical reviewers Jeannette Guarner (Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Vice Chair of Faculty Affairs, Emory University, Department I of Internal Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, University of Cologne) and Michael James Ankcorn (Consultant in Virology/Infectious Diseases, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, NHS Foundation Trust, UK) for their valuable input and critical comments. We thank Faith Armitage for providing copy-editing. We would like to thank the consumer reviewer, Ceri Dare, in particular for her comments, which have led to better comprehensibility and readability of the review.
