Specifically, we conducted an umbrella review to evaluate the findings of systematic reviews and/or metaanalyses that investigated the relationship of dyslipidemia and severity of COVID-19 infection and to assess the evidence regarding potential limitations and the consistency of findings. The following criteria were applied to identify the articles to be included in the present umbrella review: (1) systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses; (2) studies involving adults who tested positive for COVID-19; and (3) studies reporting the association between dyslipidemia and COVID-19 infection. Two authors (G.J.C. and H.M.K.) independently extracted the outcomes on the relationship of dyslipidemia or non-dyslipidemia and lipid profile with COVID-19 infection severity from the identified systematic reviews and meta-analyses. ./cache/cord-283340-ksyd5l56.txt ./txt/cord-283340-ksyd5l56.txt
