So far, there is no clinical evidence to confirm any of the theories, and this question can only be clarified through a randomized clinical trial.\n\nThe objective is to evaluate the impact of the suspension of the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (BRA) on the length of hospital stay and on the mortality of patients with SARS-CoV2 infection.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 diagnosis using ACE inhibitors or blockers of angiotensin receptor;\n* Patients ≥ 18 years old;\n* Maximum use of 3 antihypertensive drugs;\n* Sign the consent form.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Severe evolution with orotracheal intubation, use of mechanical ventilation and / or hemodynamic instability in the first 24 hours until COVID-19 diagnosis confirmation;\n* Patients hospitalized per decompensated congestive heart failure in the last 12 months;\n* Use of Sacubitril/Valsartan\n* Pregnancy\n* Recent acute renal failure and shock'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04364893', 'acronym': 'BRACE-CORONA', 'briefTitle': 'Angiotensin Receptor Blockers and Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Adverse Outcomes in Patients With COVID19', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': "D'Or Institute for Research and Education"}, 'officialTitle': 'Suspension of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers and Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Adverse Outcomes in Hospitalized Patients With Coronavirus Infection (COVID-19).
