Deaths induced by compassionate use of hydroxychloroquine during the first COVID-19 wave

Highlights

• Hydroxychloroquine was prescribed in hospitalised patients with Covid-19 despite of the low-level evidence.

• Subsequently, HCQ use was associated with an 11% increase in the mortality rate in a meta-analysis of randomized trials.

The number of hydroxychloroquine related deaths in hospitalised patients is estimated at 16,990 in six countries.

These findings illustrate the hazard of drug repurposing with low-level evidence for the management of future pandemics.
