Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess if angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) or ACE inhibitors improve outcomes for hospitalized COVID-19 patients based on sex, while also investigating sex-related differences in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS).
- The research involved a prospective cohort study of 1,686 hospitalized patients across 10 Canadian urban hospitals, measuring baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes related to ARB/ACE inhibitor use.
- Findings revealed that males on ARBs showed reduced need for ventilation and vasopressors compared to those who weren’t on these medications, while no significant benefits were found for females, highlighting a notable sex difference in treatment response.
