A retrospective cohort study was conducted to determine the outpatient utilization of nirmatrelvir-ritonavir and remdesivir in Canada. For nirmatrelvir-ritonavir, administrative health databases from Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan were used. For remdesivir, aggregate data for outpatient remdesivir prescriptions from the Ontario Ministry of Health, the Saskatchewan Health Authority, and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority were obtained. Outpatient remdesivir infusions are not routinely captured in prescription drug claims.
