Taken from the actual study:
https://www.ijidonline.com/article/S1201-9712(20)30534-8/ful...
* Overall in-hospital mortality was 18.1% (95% CI:16.6%-19.7%);
by treatment:
* hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin, 157/783 (20.1% [95% CI: 17.3%-23.0%]),
* hydroxychloroquine alone, 162/1202 (13.5% [95% CI: 11.6%-15.5%]),
* azithromycin alone, 33/147 (22.4% [95% CI: 16.0%-30.1%]),
* and neither drug, 108/409 (26.4% [95% CI: 22.2%-31.0%]) .
And the conclusion:
> In this multi-hospital assessment, when controlling for COVID-19 risk factors, treatment with hydroxychloroquine alone and in combination with azithromycin was associated with reduction in COVID-19 associated mortality. Prospective trials are needed to examine this impact.

#7It's simply amazing how the American mainstream media has chosen to report on hydrochloriquine as a bad, dangerous, potentially harmful drug prematurely, before any real testing has been completed. The results in this particular study may not hold up in wider testing, but they certainly might. How do these media members plan to reverse course if in fact, hydrochloriquine becomes a widely recommended treatment for Covid 19?

I couldn’t figure out from the paper what was the criteria for giving each of the drugs.

So if I get it right from this cesspool of comments here, pro hydroxy chloroquine means your must be right wing while pro masks is a left wing signal? Are people really that nuts or is this some massive troll operation going on?

Seems it was not random which is a minus, but
>The combination of hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin was reserved for selected patients with severe COVID-19 and with minimal cardiac risk factors.
This group still saw improvement over no treatment, which is a huge plus(unless cardiac function is correlated with covid susceptibility).
