1st treatment shown to increase risk in September 2020, now with p = 0.000000048 from 40 studies.
5,300+ studies for 116 treatments. c19early.org
In Vitro study showing lower pH increased ACE2 expression and viral load on SARS-CoV-2 infection, and retrospective study showing proton pump inhibitor use, which is correlated with low gastric pH-related diseases, was associated with higher mortality.
Study covers proton pump inhibitors and alkalinization.
risk of death, 124.4% higher, HR 2.24, p < 0.001, adjusted per study, both regions combined.
risk of death, 118.3% higher, HR 2.18, p < 0.001, adjusted per study, multivariable, Cox proportional hazards.
risk of death, 133.2% higher, HR 2.33, p < 0.001, adjusted per study, multivariable, Cox proportional hazards.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates

Individuals with comorbidities associated with severe COVID-19 display higher levels of <jats:italic>ACE2</jats:italic> in the lungs compared to those without comorbidities, and conditions such as cell stress, elevated glucose levels and hypoxia may also increase the expression of <jats:italic>ACE2</jats:italic>. Here, we showed that patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) have a higher expression of <jats:italic>ACE2</jats:italic> in BE tissues compared to normal squamous esophagus, and that the lower pH associated with BE may drive this increase in expression. Human primary monocytes cultured in reduced pH displayed increased <jats:italic>ACE2</jats:italic> expression and higher viral load upon SARS-CoV-2 infection. We also showed in two independent cohorts of 1,357 COVID-19 patients that previous use of proton pump inhibitors is associated with 2- to 3-fold higher risk of death compared to those not using the drugs. Our work suggests that pH has a great influence on SARS-CoV-2 Infection and COVID-19 severity.</jats:p>", "alternative-id": [ "10.3389/fmed.2021.637885" ], "author": [ { "affiliation": [], "family": "Jimenez", "given": "Leandro", "sequence": "first" }, { "affiliation": [], "family": "Campos Codo", "given": "Ana", "sequence": "additional" }, { "affiliation": [], "family": "Sampaio", "given": "Vanderson de Souza", "sequence": "additional" }, { "affiliation": [], "family": "Oliveira", "given": "Antonio E.
