      Here is my first analysis of the new @IHU_Marseille preprint called 'Early Treatment with Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin in 10,429 COVID-19 Outpatients: A Monocentric Retrospective Cohort Study' Found here: (not sure why in April 2020 folder). https://mediterranee-infection.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MS-IHU-Preprint.pdf …

      Some additional points: they report adhering to STROBE guidelines, but they don't (to be fair, no one ever does) - no discussion of missing data/errors, statistical methods in the supplementaries, no demographics (even though this was almost certainly collected)

      The use of the term "IFR" throughout is boringly wrong. Infection fatality rate is the rate using a denominator of ALL INFECTIONS in a population, what they are reporting here is CASE fatality rate (for cases presenting to outpatients)

      Their interpretation of the odds ratio is wrong (again, very common error) - this would be true if they had calculated relative risks, but they are reporting the results of a logistic regression (to be fair, with such low numbers they are likely to be similar)pic.twitter.com/eDtcT4iWA9

      The controls in the study are insufficient for any meaningful conclusions. They clearly have access to comorbidity and other data (they calculated CCI/NEWS-2 scores for some patients) so it's weird they didn't uses these

      The clearly don't because they state it in the discussion part, so no idea how they calculated NEWS (not 2 I think, at the IHU) scorepic.twitter.com/0hb602cZ2B

      That's a weird contradiction, because they calculated CCI/NEWS for people who died (or at least they report doing so in the supplementary) so did they only get this data for a small group? How? Why not for everyone?
