The main endpoints were in-hospital mortality and sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. There was no confirmed benefit of any treatment, and each of these drug regimens were associated with decreased in-hospital survival and an increased frequency of ventricular arrhythmias. Despite the fact this was not a careful randomized trial, it has been widely touted by the press, condemning the use of hydroxychloroquine as not only useless but dangerous for COVID-19 therapy. What is your interpretation of these data?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Coronavirus COVID-19255 views0 answers0 votes
