  • INTRODUCTION: Hydroxycloroquine (HCQ) has been extensively studied for treatment and prevention of coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) from the start of the pandemic Conflicting evidence about its usefulness has begun to accrue METHODS: In the face of controversial results about clinical efficacy of HCQ, we performed a rapid systematic review to assess its safety in the framework of COVID-19 randomized clinical trials RESULTS: Five studies investigating 2291 subjects were included The use of HCQ was associated with higher risk of adverse event compared with placebo or standard of care: odds ratio 4 57, 95% confidence interval 2 14-9 45 CONCLUSION: Safety profile of HCQ appears to be unsatisfactory when used to treat or prevent COVID-19, especially in the light of unproved clinical benefit
