Retrospective 238 hospitalized patients in Spain showing lower mortality with HCQ, adjusted hazard ratio aHR 0.81 [0.24-2.76].

Although the 19% lower mortality is not statistically significant, it is consistent with the significant 24% lower mortality [19‑28%] from meta analysis of the 244 mortality results to date.

Antecedentes y objetivo: En los últimos meses se han realizado grandes esfuerzos para evaluar las terapias más eficaces en el manejo de pacientes con COVID-19. Actualmente ninguna combinación ha demostrado de manera consistente una relación clara con la mortalidad. Nuestro objetivo fue valorar el patrón de asociaciones observado entre los distintos tratamientos intrahospitalarios administrados a 238 pacientes ingresados por COVID-19 y la mortalidad. Materiales y métodos: Se analizaron las historias clínicas electrónicas de aquellos pacientes dados de alta o que fallecieron por COVID-19 entre el 16 de marzo y el 10 de abril de 2020 en el Hospital Universitario San Cecilio (Granada, Espa ña). Se obtuvo información sobre sexo, edad, comorbilidades al ingreso, parámetros clínicos, analíticos, pruebas de imagen y tratamientos empíricos empleados. La variable de desenlace fue la mortalidad intrahospitalaria. Para estimar las asociaciones entre los diferentes tratamientos y el riesgo de mortalidad se estimaron, mediante modelos de regresión de Cox, hazard ratio ajustadas por edad, sexo, patologías previas y gravedad al ingreso. Resultados: La combinación de fármacos más frecuentemente empleada fue la formada por heparina de bajo peso molecular (HBPM), hidroxicloroquina y ritonavir/lopinavir. Ninguno de los tratamientos utilizados mostró una asociación independiente con la mortalidad. Los fármacos que mostraron una asociación inversa de mayor magnitud fueron el tocilizumab y los corticoides. Conclusiones: El patrón se asociaciones obtenido es consistente con lo reportado en la bibliografía. Parece oportuno dise ñar ensayos aleatorizados que valoren el posible efecto protector de los corticoides y el tocilizumab sobre el riesgo de muerte en algunos subgrupos de pacientes hospitalizados por COVID-19.
