Retrospective 140 diabetic patients in France, showing lower mortality for patients where metformin use was continued after hospitalization.
risk of death/ICU, 55.5% lower, RR 0.45, p = 0.04, treatment 9 of 47 (19.1%), control 22 of 50 (44.0%), NNT 4.0, adjusted per study, odds ratio converted to relative risk, metformin continued, multivariable.
risk of death/ICU, 68.4% higher, RR 1.68, p = 0.02, treatment 34 of 43 (79.1%), control 22 of 50 (44.0%), adjusted per study, odds ratio converted to relative risk, metformin discontinued, multivariable.

We [2] and others [3] have showed that metformin treatment is associated with better outcomes in diabetic patients hospitalised for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, it is not known whether this beneficial association is due to metformin treatment prior to hospital admission, its continuation during the hospital stay, or both. Here, we assessed differences in outcomes for patients who continued to take metformin in hospital versus those who did not. We also studied the correlations between blood levels of metformin and common inflammatory markers. The study population and methods have been described elsewhere [4]. Briefly, we collected data on consecutive diabetic patients admitted to Amiens University Hospital (Amiens, France) with PCRconfirmed COVID-19 between the start of the outbreak in France and May 23rd, 2020 (n = 145). We recorded each patient’s baseline characteristics, medications, laboratory results, and COVID-19 outcomes. Medical and prescription records were screened for metformin prescription / administration during the hospital stay. Plasma and erythrocyte metformin levels were analysed in a subset of the patients (n = 25), according to a previously described method [5]. All the patients were followed up until discharge or death. Patients were categorised into “continuation of metformin throughout the hospital stay”, “discontinuation of metformin on tologie et Nutrition, * Corresponding author at: Service d’Endocrinologie, Diabe ^ pital Nord, CHU Amiens-Picardie, Amiens, F-80054 cedex 01, France.

Between-group comparisons were performed with the Mann−Whitney−Wilcoxon test (for two groups) or the Kruskal−Wallis test (for more than two groups) for numerical variables and Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables. The association between these groups and the primary endpoint (a composite of intensive care unit admission or death) was probed in a logistic regression analysis. The secondary endpoints were the components of the primary endpoint, the need for mechanical ventilation and a..
