Retrospective 71 hospitalized haematologic patients in Spain, showing lower mortality with HCQ treatment in unadjusted results and without statistical significance.
Although the 27% lower mortality is not statistically significant, it is consistent with the significant 26% lower mortality [22‑30%] from meta analysis of the 252 mortality results to date.
This study is excluded in the after exclusion results of meta analysis: unadjusted results with no group details.

Our aim was to analyze whether there are differences in clinical characteristics and outcome of haematologic patients with COVID-19 as compared to non-haematologic. Patients and methods: Retrospective cohort study in 2 University hospitals of patients admitted with laboratoryconfirmed COVID-19 included in the SEMICOVID19 database. The cohort with underlying haematologic disease was compared to a cohort of age and date-of-COVID-19-matched controls without haematologic disease (1:2). Results: 71 cases and 142 controls were included from March-May 2020. Twenty (28.1%) had received recent chemotherapy. Twelve (16.9%) were stem cell transplant recipients (SCT). Eleven (15.5%) were neutropenic concurrently with COVID-19 diagnosis. Haematologic patients presented ARDS (58.5 vs 20.7%, p = 0.0001), thrombotic complications (15.7 vs 2.1%, p = 0.002), DIC (5.7 vs 0.0%, p = 0.011), heart failure (14.3 vs 4.9%, p = 0.029) and required ICU admission (15.5 vs 2.8%, p = 0.001), MV (14.1% vs 2.1%, p 0.001), steroid (64.8 vs 33.1%, p = 0.0001), tocilizumab (33.8 vs 8.5%, p = 0.0001) or anakinra treatment (9.9% vs 0%, p = 0.0001) more often. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher (38.0% vs 18.3%, p = 0.002). Conclusions: Our results suggest COVID-19 has worse outcomes in haematologic patients than in nonhaematologic, independently of age, and that the development of ARDS and thrombotic complications drive the higher in-hospital mortality.
