Accordingly, we performed a meta-analysis to study the cumulative evidence for association of ACEI/ARB use with risk of mortality and severe illness with Covid-19. The following key words were used for search in different combinations: "Coronavirus 2019", "Covid-19", "SARS-Cov-2", "Renin angiotensin system", "Angiotensin converting enzyme", "Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors", "ACEI", "Angiotensin receptor blockers"; "ARB", and "Outcomes". Association of Inpatient Use of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers with Mortality Among Patients With Hypertension Hospitalized With COVID-19 Association of Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibitors With Severity or Risk of Death in Patients With Hypertension Hospitalized for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Infection in Wuhan ./cache/cord-256422-4crdzojb.txt ./txt/cord-256422-4crdzojb.txt
