Retrospective 2,882 patients in China, median age 62, 278 receiving HCQ, median 10 days post hospitalization, showing that HCQ treatment can reduce systemic inflammation and inhibit the cytokine storm, thus protecting multiple organs from inflammatory injuries, such as detoxification in the liver and attenuation of cardiac injury. IL-6 levels significantly reduced after HCQ treatment, p<0.05, and elevated after HCQ withdrawal. The significantly lower dose used here is potentially related to the different observations from the RECOVERY trial results. Authors suggest that treatment should be started as soon as possible.
The 550 patients that were critically ill at baseline are reported in a separate paper. For the non-critically-ill patients at baseline, the proportion of patients that became critically ill was significantly lower for those treated with HCQ.
For the subset of patients that started HCQ treatment early only 1.4% died versus 3.9% for HCQ started late and 9.1% for control patients.

Sci China Life Sci 64, 330–333. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11427-020-1782-1 Dear Editor, The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by widespread infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Chen et al., 2020; Guan et al., 2020) has led to a global health crisis. More than 3.5 million infections and 246,838 deaths have occurred as of May 4, 2020 (Saqrane and El Mhammedi, 2020), with a rapid upward trend. Many COVID-19 patients suffer from complicated systemic injuries such as cardiac (Chen et al., 2020) and hepatic (Huang et al., 2020) damages. There are currently no specific drugs on the market to treat COVID-19-induced systemic injuries (Ni et al., 2020). A study by our group has demonstrated that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) administration dramatically reduces the fatality of critically ill COVID-19 patients (Yu et al., 2020). In the present study, we investigated whether HCQ treatment has the ability to protect multiple organs from injuries caused by SARS-CoV-2. In this retrospective study, we extracted data of 2,882 patients (1,427 males and 1,455 females) who were clinically confirmed to have COVID-19 between February 1, 2020, and April 4, 2020, at the Tongji Hospital, Wuhan, China *Corresponding authors (Dao-Wen Wang, email: dwwang@tjh.tjmu.edu.cn; Hualiang Jiang, email: hljiang@simm.ac.cn) (IRBID: TJ-IRB20200229). The median age of all the patients was 62 (50–69) years. Of the 2,882 patients, 550 were diagnosed as critically ill and 2,332 as non-critically ill COVID-19 patients. Additionally, 278 patients (48 critical and 230 non-critical) received oral HCQ treatment (200 mg twice a day) for 7–10 days and comprised the HCQ group; the remaining 2,604 patients did not receive the HCQ treatment and comprised the NHCQ group (Figure S1 in Supporting Information). In all the HCQ-treated patients, the median time to start HCQ administration was 10 (5–15) days after hospitalization. The baseline characteristics of the patients in these two groups are listed in Table S1 in Supporting Information. In total, of the 2,882 COVID-19 patients, 247 died (fatality rate, 8.6%); all the deaths occurred in critically ill patients (44.9%), including 9/48 (18.8%) patients from the HCQ group and 238/502 (47.4%) patients from the NHCQ group (P<0.001) (Yu et al., 2020).
