Aim To assess clinical outcomes and adverse drug events in patients hospitalised with COVID -19 treated with off- label hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of hospitalised COVID-19+ patients who received hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin over a 2 week period. The primary end point was clinical improvement on day 7 defined as either hospital discharge or an improvement of two points on a six-category ordinal scale. Secondary outcomes evaluated included mortality at day 28, ICU admission, requirement for mechanical ventilation and incidence of adverse drug events. Results Data from a total of 82 patients with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was evaluated. Clinical improvement was seen in 26.8% of patients at Day 7. 31% of patients were admitted to ICU, 16 (19.5%) underwent mechanical ventilation and Day 28 mortality was 28%. Age over 70, history of cardiovascular disease and 3 or more comorbidities were risk factors for mortality. The incidence of adverse drug events was 42%. No patient experienced a Grade 4 or 5 toxicity. Over a fifth of patients (23) had raised LFTs (65% had raised LFTs at baseline), 11 patients experienced prolonged QT and 1 patient experienced grade 1 hypoglycaemia. Treatment was stopped early in 6(7.3%) patients due to prolonged QT interval or LFT elevations. Conclusion This descriptive study details the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 positive patients treated with these agents and highlights the importance of monitoring all repurposed agents for adverse drug events.
