Small retrospective study of 29 ICU patients comparing those with HCQ plasma concentration within target to those with a concentration below the target value, with no significant differences found. Mortality in the on-target group was 0% versus 17% for the off-target group, mortality relative risk 0.14, p = 0.16.

Abstract: Since January 2020 Elsevier has created a COVID-19 resource centre with free information in English and Mandarin on the novel coronavirus COVID19. The COVID-19 resource centre is hosted on Elsevier Connect, the company's public news and information website. Elsevier hereby grants permission to make all its COVID-19-related research that is available on the COVID-19 resource centre - including this research content - immediately available in PubMed Central and other publicly funded repositories, such as the WHO COVID database with rights for unrestricted research re-use and analyses in any form or by any means with acknowledgement of the original source. These permissions are granted for free by Elsevier for as long as the COVID-19 resource centre remains active.

The primary objective of this study was to assess the effects of hydroxychloroquine according to its plasma concentration in ICU patients. A single-center retrospective study was performed from March to April 2020 in an ICU of a university hospital. All patients admitted to the ICU with confirmed Covid-19 pneumonia and treated with hydroxychloroquine were included. The study compared 17 patients in whom the hydroxychloroquine plasma concentration was in the therapeutic target (on-target) and 12 patients in whom the plasma concentration was below the target (off-target). The follow-up of patients was 15 days. No association was found between hydroxychloroquine plasma concentration and viral load evolution (P = 0.77). There was no significant difference between the two groups for duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, in-hospital mortality, and 15-days mortality. These findings indicate that hydroxychloroquine administration for Covid-19 patients hospitalized in ICU is not associated with improved outcomes. Larger multicenter studies are needed to confirm these results. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd and International Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. All rights reserved.
