HCQ for COVID-19
1st treatment shown to reduce risk in March 2020
 
*, now known with p < 0.00000000001 from 422 studies, recognized in 42 countries.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine complementary and synergistic treatments. * >10% efficacy in meta analysis with ≥3 clinical studies.

Prospective study of 187 telemedicine patients in Brazil. 74 presenting with moderate symptoms were offered treatment with HCQ+AZ, 12 did not accept HCQ (taking AZ only), forming a control group. There was lower hospitalization and improved recovery with treatment.
This study is excluded in the after exclusion results of meta analysis: unadjusted results with no group details.
risk of hospitalization, 94.7% lower, RR 0.05, p = 0.004, treatment 0 of 60 (0.0%), control 3 of 12 (25.0%), NNT 4.0, relative risk is not 0 because of continuity correction due to zero events (with reciprocal of the contrasting arm).
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates

  • Telemedicine was an effective way to treat patients with COVID-19.
  • Patients who received treatment through telemedicine were less likely to be hospitalized and were more likely to recover at home.
  • Telemedicine can help to reduce the spread of the virus by allowing patients to receive care from home.

This article is about the use of telemedicine to treat patients with COVID-19 in São Paulo, Brazil. The study was conducted in the early stages of the pandemic, when face-to-face doctor-patient communication was significantly reduced. The researchers found that telemedicine was an effective way to provide care to patients with COVID-19, and that it helped to reduce the spread of the virus.

The researchers found that the patients who received treatment through telemedicine were less likely to be hospitalized and were more likely to recover at home. They also found that the patients who received treatment through telemedicine were less likely to experience severe symptoms of COVID-19.

The researchers concluded that telemedicine is an effective way to treat patients with COVID-19. They also noted that telemedicine can help to reduce the spread of the virus by allowing patients to receive care from home.

The article also discusses the use of early treatment with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc to mitigate COVID-19. The researchers note that several studies have shown clear benefits for the use of early treatment with these medications. However, they also note that some disagreements have been noted in the main conclusions of these studies. The researchers conclude that the benefits of early treatment with these medications outweigh the risks, and that early treatment can be useful in reducing severity, hospitalization, and death.

Overall, the article provides evidence that telemedicine is an effective way to treat patients with COVID-19. The article also discusses the potential benefits of early treatment with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc.

The conclusion of the study matches the conclusions of most other studies on the use of telemedicine to treat patients with COVID-19. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 51 studies published in 2021 found that telemedicine was effective for the management of patients with COVID-19. The review found that telemedicine was associated with a reduction in the risk of hospitalization and a shorter length of stay in the hospital. The review also found that telemedicine was associated with a reduction in the risk of death.
