The use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) in patients with Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has been controversial. We performed a meta-analysis of all published studies that reported the outcomes of ACEIs/ARBs in patients with COVID-19. We included four observational studies (3,267 patients). The use of ACEIs/ARBs was associated with a similar risk of all-cause death (OR: 0.75, 95% CI [0.36, 1.57], p = 0.45). Sensitivity analysis including only hypertensive patients demonstrated a lower risk of death with ACEIs/ARBs use (OR: 0.57, 95% CI [0.32-0.98], p = 0.04). In conclusion, hypertensive patients with COVID-19 treated with ACEIs/ARBS have a lower mortality but further research is needed.
血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂(ACEIs)和血管紧张素受体阻滞剂(ARBs)在 2019 年冠状病毒(COVID-19)患者中的应用一直存在争议。我们对所有报告 ACEIs/ARBs 在 COVID-19 患者中的结局的已发表研究进行了荟萃分析。我们纳入了四项观察性研究(3267 例患者)。ACEIs/ARBs 的使用与全因死亡率的风险相似(OR:0.75,95%CI [0.36,1.57],p=0.45)。仅包括高血压患者的敏感性分析显示,ACEIs/ARBs 的使用降低了死亡风险(OR:0.57,95%CI [0.32-0.98],p=0.04)。总之,COVID-19 合并高血压的患者使用 ACEIs/ARBs 治疗可降低死亡率,但需要进一步研究。
