SARS-CoV-2 viral clearance occurred significantly faster following hydroxychloroquine therapy compared with alternative regimens in infected individuals.
Adjusted hazard ratio reached 1.18 for viral clearance after controlling for age, initial viral load, and the duration before treatment began.
Retrospective observational study analyzed 1276 hospital patients, assessing viral load dynamics with qPCR alongside a nine-study meta-analysis.
Highlights faster reduction of viral load as an independent prognostic factor, supporting further clinical evaluation of combination therapies.
