One hundred and six (106) patients with an average age of 53 yrs. (\u00b116.9) were included, with a greater proportion of males (n=66, 62.2 %). Seventy-two percent (72%) (n= 76) had an associated comorbidity. Ninety percent (90 %) of patients were discharged due to improvement (n=96). The average duration of hospitalization was 6 days (IQR, 3 \u2013 10). No difference in hospitalization duration was found between the treatment groups (Group1: 7&nbsp;<em>vs<\/em>&nbsp;Group 2: 6&nbsp;<em>vs<\/em>&nbsp;Group 3: 5, p=0.43) nor in respiratory deterioration or death (Group 1: 18 %&nbsp;<em>vs<\/em>&nbsp;Group 2: 22.2 %&nbsp;<em>vs<\/em> Group 3: 24.3 %, p =0.83). In non-critical hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, neither ivermectin nor hydroxychloroquine decreases the number of in-hospital days, respiratory deterioration, or deaths.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 col-xs-12 col-sm-12\">\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Efficacy and safety of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine in patients with severe COVID-19.
