The FI is the minimum number of patients who would have to be converted from nonevents to events, in the group with the least events, f...

Caldeira, Daniel; Alves, Mariana; Melo, Ryan; António, Pedro Silvério; Cunha, Nelson; Nunes-Ferreira, Afonso; Prada, Luísa; Costa, JoãoObjective: Animal studies suggested that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARB) facilitate the inoculation of potentially leading to a higher risk of infection and/or disease severity. We aimed to systematically evaluate the risk of COVID-19 infection and the risk of severe COVID-19 disease associated with previous exposure to (ACEi) and/or ARB). Methods: MEDLINE...

Objective: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess...
