MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data from observational studies describing comorbid chronic liver disease, acute liver injury, elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and outcomes of COVID-19 hospitalized patients from December 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020 was extracted following PRISMA guidelines. The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of the comorbid chronic liver disease (CM-CLD), elevated liver enzymes and COVID-19 associated acute liver injury (COVID-19 ALI) in predicting the outcomes in confirmed COVID-19 hospitalized patients. The Maentel-Haenszel formula was used to calculate dichotomous variables to obtain odds ratios (ORs) along with its 95% confidence intervals to describe the association of comorbid liver disease, elevated liver enzymes, acute liver injury and outcomes of COVID-19 patients in each study.	./cache/cord-283120-hyzk59qv.txt	./txt/cord-283120-hyzk59qv.txt
