Retrospective 529 hospitalized COVID-19 patients with type 2 diabetes, showing no significant difference in outcomes with metformin use. This does not account for the different risk of being hospitalized based on metformin use.
Authors note that "there is a lower-than-expected proportion of metformin prescription in our population (28%) compared to the general US population", without noting that this may reflect the lower risk of being hospitalized for metformin patients, as shown in other studies1.
risk of death, 1.0% higher, OR 1.01, p = 0.98, treatment 148, control 381, RR approximated with OR.
risk of mechanical ventilation, 4.0% higher, OR 1.04, p = 0.87, treatment 148, control 381, RR approximated with OR.
risk of ICU admission, 8.0% lower, OR 0.92, p = 0.72, treatment 148, control 381, RR approximated with OR.
Effect extraction follows pre-specified rules prioritizing more serious outcomes. Submit updates
