Retrospective 456 patients in Burkina Faso showing lower risk of ARDS (p=0.001) and mortality (p=0.38) with HCQ.

Ouedraogo et al., 2/5/2021, retrospective, Burkina Faso, Africa, peer-reviewed, 14 authors.

risk of death, 33.0% lower, RR 0.67, p = 0.38, treatment 397, control 59, multivariate.

risk of ARDS, 68.0% lower, RR 0.32, p = 0.001, treatment 397, control 59, multivariate.

Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. For an individual study the most serious outcome may have a smaller number of events and lower statistical signficance, however this provides the strongest evidence for the most serious outcomes when combining the results of many trials.

Elimination of COVID-19 is a race against viral evolution. No treatment, vaccine, or intervention is 100% available and effective for all current and future variants. Denying the efficacy of any method increases the risk of COVID-19 becoming endemic; and increases mortality, morbidity, and collateral damage. We do not provide medical advice.
