From the very paper linked by the parent and the parent-parent:
"This was an observational retrospective analysis
that could be impacted by confounding variables"; "We also do not have data on the time at which the patients included
in the study initiated therapy with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc." "The cohorts were identified based on medications
ordered rather than confirmed administration, which may bias findings towards favoring
equipoise between the two groups." "In light of these limitations, this study should not be
used to guide clinical practice."
- highmastdon 6y agoSo, good reason to have a more clinical trial for testing HCQ + ZINC + Azitromycin vs HCQ alone (vs NO Medicine). But that's something I'm not seeing at the moment, which is a shame. 230 studies looking at Hydroxychloroquine [1] Only 10 studies looking into HCQ and Zinc [2] [1]:https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?cond=Covid-19&term=hydroxychloroquine&cntry=&state=&city=&dist= https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?cond=Covid-19&term=hy...
