Arm/Group Title | Hydroxychloroquine | Placebo |
---|---|---|
Arm/Group Description |
Participants assigned to the hydroxychloroquine arm will receive hydroxychloroquine sulfate 400 mg twice daily on the day of enrollment, then 200 mg twice daily for the next 4 days for a 5 day total course. Hydroxychloroquine: Hydroxychloroquine is available in 200 mg oral tablets of hydroxychloroquine sulfate. For this COVID-19 trial, we will use an oral or enteral dose of hydroxychloroquine 400 mg twice daily on the day of enrollment, then 200 mg twice daily for the next 4 days for a 5 day total course. |
Participants randomized to the control group will receive a dose of placebo enterally twice daily for 5 days (a total of 10 doses). The placebo pills will be as similar as possible to the hydroxychloroquine pills to ensure blinding. Placebo: Participants randomized to the control group will receive a dose of placebo enterally twice daily for 5 days (a total of 10 doses). The placebo pills will be as similar as possible to the hydroxychloroquine pills to ensure blinding. |

Measure Description: Defined as the time of the first contact with an acute care hospital during the health care episode that resulted in the hospitalization during which the patient was enrolled. For patients who initially presented to the emergency department, time of hospital presentation was the time of emergency department arrival. For patients directly hospitalized without presenting to the emergency department, time of hospital presentation was the time of arrival at the admission unit.

Measure Analysis Population Description: Measure was analyzed in participants who had available data for date of hospital presentation.

Measure Description: The COVID Outcomes Scale is a 7-category ordinal scale that classifies a patient's clinical status. Lower scores indicate more severely ill clinical status. Patients in the following categories at baseline were not eligible for enrollment: category 1 (death); category 6 (not hospitalized and unable to perform normal activities); and category 7 (not hospitalized and able to perform normal activities).

Measure Description: The SOFA score categorizes illness severity based on organ dysfunction across 6 organ systems: respiratory, coagulation, liver, cardiovascular, central nervous system, and kidney. SOFA scores range from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater illness severity. A SOFA score of 2 indicates moderate dysfunction in 1 organ system or mild dysfunction in 2 organ systems.
