Abstract:
In the early days of the pandemic, isolated reports suggested beneficial or harmful effects of some maintenance drugs for chronic diseases (e.g., hypertension, hyperlipidemia) on the outcome of COVID-19. Using Medicare claims data, we used extended Cox regression to study the association between 8 common maintenance drugs/drug classes and the susceptibility to and severity of COVID-19. In another ongoing study, we estimated the incidence and healthcare impact of long COVID in Medicare patients.
