A large percentage (60%) of the patients who took hydroxychloroquine were also using azithromycin. It was a double whammy for the HCQ+ crowd, as the authors noted:

There was also no significant association between treatment with azithromycin and the composite end point (hazard ratio, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.81 to 1.31).
