205 confirmed positive symptomatic inpatients aged 63+20 (SD) years and 52% males. Baseline characteristics are 51·2% with hypertension, 30·2% with diabetes and 14·6% with ischaemic heart disease or heart failure. Of the 205 patients, 53 patients died or required critical care support within 7 days of symptoms and 152 patients did not. The inclusion criteria of only patients needing admission is likely why this critical outcome figure is relatively high (25·9%) compared to fatality rate in population studies but is comparable to hospital case series.17 14% (5/37) patients with exposure to an ACE-inhibitor died or required critical care support compared to 29% (48/168) for patients without such exposure.
