ABSTRACT
The practice of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers (ACEi/ARB) in COVID-19 hypertensive patients is still an open question for clinicians to answer. The present study was conducted to find out the association between the use of ACEI/ARB and the mortality rate of COVID-19 patients. The search was conducted from December 2019 to October 2020 in PubMed to identify relevant published studies. RevMan 5 was used for the analysis of the data. The random-effect model was used to calculate the odds ratio. In total, 07 studies were found to be appropriate, reporting a total of 1,566 subjects. The odds ratio was found to be 0.86 [0.41, 1.81], which indicates that there is no association between ACEI/ARB and the mortality rate of COVID-19 patients. In conclusion, we may suggest continuing the use of ACEi/ARB in COVID-19 patients till further pieces of evidence are generated.
