Objetivos: Estimar la mortalidad relacionada a hidroxicloroquina y azitromicina en pacientes con COVID-19 en ventilación mecánica de una unidad de cuidados intensivos. Material y métodos: Cohorte analítica retrospectiva. Se incluyeron 105 pacientes con COVID-19 en ventilación mecánica invasiva que ingresaron con el diagnóstico de Insuficiencia Respiratoria Aguda a la unidad de cuidados intensivos del Hospital Cayetano Heredia durante el año 2020. Resultados: La mortalidad global fue 38%; el 79% fueron varones, la edad media fue 50±13 años, el 65% no tuvo comorbilidades; al ingreso la puntuación en la escala APACHE II fue 12±6 puntos y en la escala SOFA 5±3 puntos; el 30% recibió hidroxicloroquina, el 32% azitromicina y 32% la combinación de los mismos. La mortalidad fue significativamente mayor en pacientes que recibieron hidroxicloroquina (p=0.00), azitromicina (p=0.03), y la combinación hidroxicloroquina más azitromicina (p=0.001). Conclusiones: La mortalidad en los pacientes con COVID–19 en ventilación mecánica invasiva fue significadamente mayor en pacientes que recibieron hidroxicloroquina, azitromicina o la combinación de ambos.Objective: To estimate mortality rates associated with hydroxichloroquine and azithromycin use in Covid-19 patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit in Lima. Material and methods: This is a retrospective analytical cohort. One hundred and five patients with Covid-19 undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation who were admitted with a diagnosis of acute respiratory insufficiency to the intensive care unit of Cayetano Heredia Hospital in Lima during 2020. Results: The overall mortality rate was 38%. Most patients (79%) were male, their mean age was 50 ± 13 years, two thirds (65%) did not have comorbidities; APACHE II and SOFA scores were 12 ± 6 points and 5 ± 3 points, respectively. Thirty percent of all patients received hydroxichloroquine, 32% received azithromycin, and 32% received both drugs. Mortality was significantly higher in those patients who received hydroxichloroquine (p= 0.001), azithromycin (p= 0.03), and the combination of hydroxichloroquine and azithromycin (p= 0.001). However, when a Cox regression analysis was performed, it was evidenced that deceased patients were more likely to have been exposed to hydroxichloroquine (p= 0.001) (HR: 21, CI: 3.4-131.3), but this was not the case with azithromycin (p= 0.22) (HR: 0.43, CI: 0.11-1.6). Conclusion: Mortality in Covid-19 patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation was higher in those who received hydroxichloroquine.
