Effect of Hydroxychloroquine in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19: Preliminary results from a multi-centre, randomized, controlled trial

A randomized, controlled trial took place across 176 hospitals in the UK compared the outcome of patients who received usual care plus hydroxychloroquine to the outcome of patients on usual care alone for a period of 28 days. Findings did not demonstrate any significant association between hydroxychloroquine and reduction in 28-day mortality. Additionally, hydroxychloroquine was correlated with increased duration until discharge and a greater risk of progressing to invasive mechanical ventilation and death.
