The treatment of COVID-19 positive patients with HCQ has been met with controversy, as there have been no large multicenter randomized control trials to support its use. Studies 1 and 2 both do not cross the effect line at 0, indicating that they are not in agreement with the mortality rate of HCQ treated COVID-19 positive patients. All studies, except Study 6, are in agreement with the results of a disease progression rate of HCQ treatment in patients with COVID [19] . These results seem to be in line with the meta-analysis' of a slight disease improvement in COVID-19 patients treated with HCQ as compared with the controls. Our study looks at three disease outcome measures of treatment with HCQ in patients with COVID-19: mortality rates, progression rates, and severity rates. ./cache/cord-278246-mnj0zmkn.txt ./txt/cord-278246-mnj0zmkn.txt
