AimTo determine association between clinical outcome of COVID-19 and prior usage of cardiovascular and metabolic drugs, including, Aspirin, ACEIs, ARBs, Clopidogrel, metformin, and Statins. MethodsStatistical examination of the demographic, clinical, laboratory and imaging features of 353 patients with SARS-CoV-2 disease admitted from February to April 2020. ResultMinor discrepancies were observed in the clinical presentations, radiologic involvement and laboratory results across groups of patients under treatment with specific drugs. Aspirin-users had better clinical outcome with lower need of ventilation support, whereas, metformin- users had increased chance of intubation and of mortality. ConclusionAlthough not being conclusive, our findings suggest the possibility of the effect of previous drug usages on the various presentations and clinical course of COVID-19 infection.
