Background: The influence of renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors on the critically ill COVID19 patients with pre-existing hypertension remains uncertain. This study examined the impact of previous use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) on the critically ill COVID-19 patients.
