In subgroup analyses by type of data, no significant higher risk of mortality was When our analysis limited to the studies only included patient with antihypertensive indication, a significant lower risk of mortality was observed among those with ACEI/ARB use (OR=0.62, 95%CI 0.38-1.02, P=0.059; Figure 3 ). After excluded studies enrolled patients with hypertension but without antihypertensive treatment, the meta-analysis of four studies also found that ACEI/ARB exposure was associated with a lower risk of mortality compared those with non-ACEI/ARB antihypertensive drugs (OR=0.48, 95% CI 0.29-0.81, P=0.006; I 2 =0%). Further analysis limited to studies only included patients with drug indication found a lower risk of mortality among those with ACEI/ARB use. ./cache/cord-261070-cvj1t0gi.txt ./txt/cord-261070-cvj1t0gi.txt
