    Description

    This analysis investigates risk of COVID-19-related hospitalization and severe COVID-19 (COVID-19-related hospitalization requiring intubation, mechanical ventilation or intensive care unit [ICU] admission; or inpatient death during a COVID-19 hospitalization) among a population of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) new users with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) compared to a population of famotidine new users with GERD. 

    The study period includes data from April 1, 2020 to October 1, 2020. We distributed this request to five Sentinel Data Partners on June 1, 2023.
