The goal of this study is to reanalyze the extensive clinical data of CQ and HCQ cardiac AEs collected during the last 20 years to derive the strength of the associations and, more importantly, contributing risk factors. In our study we analyzed 702,274 FDA adverse event reports divided into CQ, HCQ and control cohorts to determine their association with cardiac AEs when taking into account other factors. The regression model was instrumental to exclude this aspirin association from the quantification of the direct cardiac side effects of CQ and HCQ, which remained significant after adjustment ( Generalizability of results to COVID-19 treatment with CQ and HCQ. ./cache/cord-286413-a7wue2e3.txt ./txt/cord-286413-a7wue2e3.txt
