cord-257399-p6of5fno	Gentry, Chris A	Long-term hydroxychloroquine use in patients with rheumatic conditions and development of SARS-CoV-2 infection: a retrospective cohort study	2020-09-21		.txt	text/plain	4529	196	42	METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included de-identified information of all veterans in the US Veterans Health Administration clinical administrative database aged 18 years or older with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or associated rheumatological conditions (based on International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition, diagnostic codes) who were alive on March 1, 2020. We aimed to examine whether patients with rheuma tological conditions receiving chronic hydroxy chloroquine therapy are at less risk of developing SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with a propensity-matched group of patients not receiving hydroxychloroquine. Our study takes advantage of a setting in which a specific group of patients has been receiving chronic hydroxy chloroquine over several months to years as a novel virus emerges among the population, setting up an ideal premise to test the hypothesis that hydroxychloroquine might be effective in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection.	./cache/cord-257399-p6of5fno.txt	./txt/cord-257399-p6of5fno.txt
