Association of Treatment With Hydroxychloroquine or Azithromycin With In-Hospital Mortality in Patients With COVID-19 in New York State

Odds of cardiac arrest were higher in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in New York City who received Azithromycin+Hydroxychloroquine compared to patients who received one or neither drug. Among a random sample of 1438 hospitalized, laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases across metropolitan New York City, “compared with patients receiving neither drug, cardiac arrest was significantly more likely in patients receiving hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin (adjusted OR, 2.13 [95% CI, 1.12-4.05]), but not hydroxychloroquine alone (adjusted OR, 1.91 [95% CI, 0.96-3.81]) or azithromycin alone (adjusted OR, 0.64 [95% CI, 0.27-1.56]).”
