CONCLUSIONS: We found that taking ARBs by patients with hypertension and confirmed or clinically suspected COVID-19 is not associated with poorer in-hospital outcomes after adjustment for possible confounders. After these adjustments, we found no independent association between taking ARBs and in-hospital outcomes except for the higher incidence of AKI, in patients with confirmed or clinically suspected COVID-19, either hypertensive or nothypertensive (Table 4 ). In this study, we found that taking ARBs in hypertensive patients with confirmed or clinically suspected COVID-19 was not associated with mortality, severity, or any other in-hospital complication except for AKI. In this single-center observational study, we found that taking ARBs by patients with hypertension and confirmed or clinically suspected COVID-19 is not associated with poorer in-hospital outcomes after adjustment for possible confounders. ./cache/cord-341197-e8m4oxma.txt ./txt/cord-341197-e8m4oxma.txt
