The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of ACEIs and ARBs (prescribed prior to admission and/or administered during hospitalisation) on the prognosis of patients admitted for COVID-19 with respiratory involvement at the General University Hospital of Ciudad Real (HGUCR), Spain, a provincial reference center. In the present study, the influence of prescribing ACEI or ARB drugs prior to admission and during hospitalisation on the in-hospital prognosis of patients with respiratory infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 has been evaluated. Patients with respiratory infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 who were admitted to the HGUCR and with a previous prescription of ACEIs or ARBs had a lower risk of developing the combined primary event. ./cache/cord-342979-pvewvmmf.txt ./txt/cord-342979-pvewvmmf.txt
