Meta analysis of 11 HCQ PrEP studies in India covering 7,616 healthcare workers, showing significantly lower cases with treatment.
7 meta analyses show significant improvements with hydroxychloroquine for mortality Landsteiner de Sampaio Amêndola, Risch, Risch (B), Stricker, hospitalization Landsteiner de Sampaio Amêndola, recovery Prodromos, combined death/hospitalization/cases Ladapo, and cases García-Albéniz.
Currently there are 99 HCQ for COVID-19 pre-exposure prophylaxis studies, showing 30% lower mortality [12‑44%] and 29% fewer cases [21‑37%].
risk of death, 75.0% lower, RR 0.25, p < 0.001, treatment 1,273, control 4,127, >=6 doses.
risk of death, 44.0% lower, RR 0.56, p = 0.004, treatment 3,489, control 4,127, any number of doses.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates
