This study aimed to investigate the QT, QTc, and QTc dispersion changes that may occur with the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), favipiravir, and moxifloxacin in combination or alone in COVID 19 patients.This study was retrospectively conducted on 193 inpatients diagnosed with COVID-19. We divided the patients into four separate groups due to their medications as, group-1: favipiravir, group-2: favipiravir + HCQ, group-3: favipiravir + moxifloxacin, and group-4: favipiravir + moxifloxacin + HCQ. We recorded their pre and post-treatment QT parameters of each group and evaluated the changes of these parameters with the SPSS statistical program.The mean age of the patients was 63.1±17.7. In group 1 and 2, although there were slight changes in QT parameters, these results were not statistically significant. In group 3, significant increases in QT and QTc dispersion occurred (p=0.005 and p=0.018). In the 4We thought that, if there is a COVID-19 infection with an additional bacterial infection, and if there is a need of using moxifloxacin alone or together with HCQ, additional risk factors that may cause QT interval prolongation should be reviewed and ECG monitoring of the patients should be performed during the treatment period. |
