59 years.

While both of group showed no significant difference for shortness of breath p=0.638 with OR (95% CI) 2.4 (0.23 – 24.06) and p=0.435 for hospitalization, in single group was 5.88 ± 3.261 days while in combination group was 5.00 ± 1.826, this shows that the combination group had an average length of hospitalization of 0.88 days faster than the single group.
