    Snippet: The most prevalent comorbidities in our study were hypertension (18.5 %, CI 12.7-24.4) followed 307 by cardiovascular diseases (14.9 %, CI 6.0-23.8) and diabetes (10.8 %, CI 8.3-13.3). According 308 to a systematic review for comorbidities by Yang et al, hypertension (17 ± 7%, CI 14-22%) and 309 diabetes (8 ± 6%, CI 6-11%), followed by cardiovascular diseases (5 ± 4%, CI 4-7%) were the 310 most common comorbid findings (11) .

    Document: The most prevalent comorbidities in our study were hypertension (18.5 %, CI 12.7-24.4) followed 307 by cardiovascular diseases (14.9 %, CI 6.0-23.8) and diabetes (10.8 %, CI 8.3-13.3). According 308 to a systematic review for comorbidities by Yang et al, hypertension (17 ± 7%, CI 14-22%) and 309 diabetes (8 ± 6%, CI 6-11%), followed by cardiovascular diseases (5 ± 4%, CI 4-7%) were the 310 most common comorbid findings (11) . The high prevalence of hypertension and other 311 cardiovascular comorbidities have raised speculation regarding the role of angiotensin-converting 312 enzyme Inhibitors (ACEI) in COVID-19. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor has 313 been identified as the receptor used by SARS-CoV-2 to infect human cells and previous studies 314 have shown that the usage of ACEI results in the upregulation of ACE2 (12) (13) . Theoretically, 315 this increase in ACE2 levels could result in a greater risk of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. 316 .
