The objective of this study was to collect the best available scientific evidence to determine the effectiveness and efficacy of famotidine in the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19, to reduce the risk of disease progression, intubation or death. Material and methods: A search were carried out in Pubmed, Ebsco, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Central, for original articles that report the variables of interest associated with the use of famotidine in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Studies were independently assessed and selected by investigators, and data displayed for associations of interest were extracted and processed using Revman 5.3 software. Results: The search obtained a total of 95 potential articles for review, of which 7 were selected for analysis. A total of 40,128 patients were included in the meta-analysis, of whom 3,436 were users of famotidine. The risk of intubation was reduced in the group not exposed to famotidine, although without statistical significance (RR 1.43 95% CI 0.42 - 4.83), in terms of mortality there was no reduction in the famotidine group (RR 1.04 95% CI 0.50 - 2.16), it was finally shown that there is no association between the use of famotidine and the composite result of reduced risk of progression to severe disease, intubation and death (RR 1.02 95% CI 0.38 - 2.68). Conclusions: Famotidine is not effective in reducing the risk of progression to severe disease, intubation, and death in hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
