Hydroxychloroquine

Dr. Zervos also pointed out, as does the paper, that the study results should be interpreted with some caution, should not be applied to patients treated outside of hospital settings and require further confirmation in prospective, randomized controlled trials that rigorously evaluate the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine therapy for COVID-19.


“Currently, the drug should be used only in hospitalized patients with appropriate monitoring, and as part of study protocols, in accordance with all relevant federal regulations,” Dr. Zervos said.


Henry Ford Health System, as one of the region’s major academic medical centers with more than $100 million in annual research funding, is involved in numerous COVID-19 trials with national and international partners.

Treatment with Hydroxychloroquine Cut Death Rate Significantly in COVID-19 Patients, Henry Ford Health System Study Shows

Hey Genius ....

Millions of Americans take Hydroxychloroquine everyday and are not monitored hospitalized patients.

Leftist are so gullible for the Fake News.

I know someone who uses it for an arthritis condition....used it for ten years or more...........he was afraid the supply might run out when he needs it..........

So...President Trump said he was hopeful that Hydroxychloroquine would save lives, and the democrat party activists in the press tried to keep people from using the drug......now, a peer reviewed study shows that HCQ did, in fact, save lives....

The democrat party would rather let people die, than save them with a drug Trump was hoping would work...

They are F*****g insane.

The anti-malaria drug that President Trump touted as a possible treatment for coronavirus, hydroxychloroquine, successfully lowered the death rate among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the most recent study of the drug.
-----
The large-scale analysis, conducted by Henry Ford Health System, was published Thursday in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Infectious Diseases.
The study examined 2,541 patients who had been hospitalized in six hospitals between March 10 and May 2, 2020.
More than twenty-six percent (26.4%) of patients who did not receive hydroxychloroquine died.
But among those who received hydroxychloroquine, fewer than half that number — 13% — died.
More than 90% of the patients received hydroxychloroquine within 48 hours of admission to the hospital. Scientists say giving the drug early during illness may be a key to success.
-----------

The study’s authors also found one concern flagged in previous reports about hydroxychloroquine did not materialize: heart-related adverse events.
"The data here is clear that there was benefit to using [hydroxychloroquine] as a treatment for sick, hospitalized patients," said Dr. Steven Kalkanis of Henry Ford Health System.

A. There are more studies that say it doesn't.

B. How can an old malaria drug cure a hoax?

C. Why would you believe this study when you don't believe Drs who tell you to wear a mask?

D. You'll take this crap on tRump's say so but I bet you won't get vaccinated when it's available.

My Ma takes it and has been for years. There has been no shortage. I look at it like this, if Dr. Faucci can get on national TV and lie about using masks, sayi g they don't make a difference, then turn around and say masks save lives should say all one needs to know about the whole thing.

I know someone who uses it for an arthritis condition....used it for ten years or more...........he was afraid the supply might run out when he needs it..........

Yes ....

It is widely prescribed for people who suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis and other auto immune diseases.

I also know people who tested positive for COVID and used it successfully.

It is an effective drug against COVID.

Hydroxychloroquine is considered safe enough that it has been used for decades as a prophylactic, given to well people heading for malaria infested zones. Further, many world leaders , including the President of America Donald J. Trump and the El Presidente of El Salvador Señor Bukele are taking it as a preventative against the Chinese Kung Flu as well.

Researchers at the Henry Ford Health System in Southeast Michigan have found that early administration of the drug hydroxychloroquine makes hospitalized patients substantially less likely to die.

The study, published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, determined that hydroxychloroquine provided a "66% hazard ratio reduction," and hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin a 71 percent reduction, compared to neither treatment.

In-hospital mortality was 18.1 percent with both drugs, 13.5 percent with just hydroxychloroquine, 22.4 percent with azithromycin alone, and 26.4 percent with neither drug. "Prospective trials are needed" for further review, the researchers note.

"Our results do differ from some other studies," Dr. Marcus Zervos, who heads the hospital's infectious diseases unit, said at a news conference. "What we think was important in ours ... is that patients were treated early. For hydroxychloroquine to have a benefit, it needs to begin before the patients begin to suffer some of the severe immune reactions that patients can have with COVID."

Apparently the President was right ..... AGAIN ......

Any normal thinking person surprised?

Hydroxychloroquine was FDA approved in 1954.

It has literally been safely used for over a half a century.

Anyone know anyone who has taken this medication specifically for COVID-19?

So can we go ahead and say that everything the Left says Trump does wrong, eventually turns out THEY were wrong?
Seems legit.

That said, he's a dumb MFer for opening up Wildlife REFUGES to hunting.

Researchers not involved with the study were critical. They noted that the Henry Ford team did not randomly treat patients but selected them for various treatments based on certain criteria.

"As the Henry Ford Health System became more experienced in treating patients with COVID-19, survival may have improved, regardless of the use of specific therapies," Dr. Todd Lee of the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada, and colleagues wrote in a commentary in the same journal.

"Finally, concomitant steroid use in patients receiving hydroxychloroquine was more than double the non-treated group. This is relevant considering the recent RECOVERY trial that showed a mortality benefit with dexamethasone." The steroid dexamethasone can reduce inflammation in seriously ill patients.

Rosenberg also pointed out that the Detroit paper excluded 267 patients -- nearly 10% of the study population -- who had not yet been discharged from the hospital. He said this might have skewed the results to make hydroxychloroquine look better than it really was. Those patients might have still been in the hospital because they were very sick, and if they died, excluding them from the study made hydroxychloroquine look like more of a lifesaver than it really was.

"There's a little bit of loosey-goosiness here in all this,"

Both the Detroit and New York studies were observational: they looked back at how patients did when doctors prescribed hydroxychloroquine.

While helpful, observational studies are not as valuable as controlled clinical trials. Considered the gold standard in medicine, patients in a clinical trial are randomly assigned to take either the drug or a placebo, which is a treatment that does nothing. Doctors then follow the patients to see how they fare.

Two clinical trials on hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19, one in the US and one in the UK, were stopped early because their data suggested hydroxychloroquine wasn't helpful.
