Observational Study of Hydroxychloroquine in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19

From March 7, 2020 to April 8, 2020, researchers observed the association between HCQ treatment and respiratory failure in confirmed COVID-19 patients at the New York–Presbyterian Hospital (NYP)–Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC). Patients were categorized as having been exposed to HCQ if administered the drug at any point after the study baseline (24 hours after being admitted to the emergency department) and before intubation/death. Researchers hypothesized that HCQ would be associated with a lower risk of a composite end point of intubation or death, after adjusting for and weighing confounding variables.
