Zusammenfassung:We read with great interest the recently published study by G uan et al. [1]. To the best of our knowledge this is the first large-scale study that focuses on independent clinical risk factors associated with a composite outcome (death, use of a ventilator, or intensive care unit (ICU) requirement), using a Cox regression model. Arterial hypertension implies the risk of a hard COVID-19 outcome. This may be explained by potential confounding factors, such as age and cardiovascular disease. https://bit.ly/2Kr6Ax4
