In what's described as the largest study of its kind, New York researchers have submitted to the state health department preliminary results of their work looking at hydroxychloroquine, the drug President Trump has touted as a"game changer" in the fight against coronavirus.
"We have reviewed several hundred medical records of Covid patients at this point in over 20 hospitals and done a preliminary analysis," David Holtgrave, the lead researcher, said Wednesday. Doctors and patients anxiously await the results of studies like this one to guide them toward the most effective therapies for Covid-19.
Last week, a French study looking at 181 patients found no statistically significant differences in the death rates between Covid-19 patients who had taken the drug and those who had not. A few of the patients on the drug developed abnormal heart rhythms. Because of similar experiences, doctors in Brazil and Sweden have warned about Covid-19 patients taking the drug.
