Résumé

Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to prioritize the management of underlying diseases in infected patients, with hypertension being one of the most common conditions.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to prioritize the management of underlying diseases in infected patients, with hypertension being one of the most common conditions. However, there lies a complicated correlation between antihypertensive agents and COVID-19 infection.
OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVE
This study is to systematically evaluate the impact of continuing or discontinuing antihypertensive agents on mortality and infection severity in hospitalized patients with both hypertension and COVID-19.
METHODS METHODS
A systematic electronic search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov to identify relevant clinical trials published between 1948 and September 2022. Two independent reviewers assessed the quality of the included studies and extracted relevant data. The primary outcome of interest was the relationship between in-hospital mortality and administration of antihypertensive agents.
RESULTS RESULTS
The meta-analysis revealed that continuous administration of antihypertensive agents, compared with discontinuation, significantly reduced in-hospital mortality among hypertension patients with COVID-19 infection [OR=0.49, 95 %CI (0.38, 0.65), p < 0.001, I
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
nder the current circumstance of the sustained COVID-19 pandemic, it is recommended to continue the use of antihypertensive agents for patients with hypertension during COVID-19 infection, as it can help reduce the risk of mortality.
