September 2020, now with p = 0.000000048 from 40 studies.

Meta analysis of 16 studies from 10 countries with a total of 318,261 participants, showing current proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use was associated with higher risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes, but not with increased susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
8 meta analyses show significant harm with proton pump inhibitors for mortality1-3,
severity1,2,4-8 , and
cases2.
Currently there are 40 proton pump inhibitors for COVID-19 studies, showing 40% higher mortality [17‑67%], 14% higher ventilation [-1‑32%], 15% higher ICU admission [1‑30%], 9% higher hospitalization [3‑16%], and 2% fewer cases [-6‑10%].
