Coronavirus round-up: New hydroxychloroquine news; Neurocon and upcoming DC webinars

Chiropractic Economics April 23, 2020

Study says hydroxychloroquine ineffective against COVID-19, increases risk of cardiac death

Hydroxychloroquine, a drug widely touted by President Trump for treating the COVID-19 coronavirus, in a study has been found to “show no benefit in a large analysis of its use in U.S. veterans hospitals. There were more deaths among those given hydroxychloroquine versus standard care, researchers reported,” according to the Associated Press.

A panel of experts convened by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has also agreed with the study, finding that “the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin was associated with QTc prolongation in patients with COVID-19. QTc prolongation increases the risk of sudden cardiac death.”

The nationwide study was not rigorous, but with 368 patients is thus far the largest look at hydroxychloroquine with or without the antibiotic azithromycin. Grants from the National Institutes of Health and the University of Virginia paid for the work.
