Abstract: Received: 16 August 2021 | Accepted: 1 October 2021 DOI: 10.1002/jmv.27375 SHORT COMMUNICATION The association between famotidine and in‐hospital mortality of patients with COVID‐19 Toshiki Kuno1,2 | Matsuo So2 | 1 Division of Cardiology, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, New York, USA Mai Takahashi2 | Natalia N. Egorova3 Abstract Famotidine has been considered to be a potential treatment for COVID‐19 but the 2 Department of Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Mount Sinai Beth Israel, New York, New York, USA 3 Department of Population Health Science and Policy, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York, USA current data is conflicting. This retrospective study was conducted by utilizing data of 9565 COVID‐19 hospitalized patients. Patients treated with and without famotidine were matched by propensity score using a 1:1 matching scheme. A total of 1593 patients (16.7%) received famotidine. In‐hospital mortality was similar in patients treated with and without famotidine in the propensity‐matched cohorts Correspondence Toshiki Kuno, MD, PhD, Division of Cardiology, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, 111 East 210th St, Bronx, NY 10467‐2401, USA. Email: tkuno@montefiore.org (28.3% vs. 28.2%, p = 0.97), which remains similar irrespective of severity or concomitant treatment by steroids. Famotidine treatment was not associated with a lower risk of in‐hospital mortality of COVID‐19 patients.
