Analysis of 868 patients on renal replacement therapy. Statistically significant reduction in mortality with HCQ for patients on dialysis (OR 0.47,
p=0.005).
No statistically significant change was found for transplant patients (the result is not given but likely the sample size is too small - the number of transplant patients was half the number of dialysis patients).
risk of death, 45.9% lower, RR 0.54, p = 0.005, treatment 322, control 53, odds ratio converted to relative risk.
