    Results
    Relative to those not receiving diabetes medications, residents taking metformin were at significantly reduced hazard of death (adjusted HR 0.48, 95%CI 0.28, 0.84) over the subsequent 30 days from COVID-19 diagnosis. There was no association with insulin (adjusted HR 0.99, 95% 0.60, 1.64) or other diabetes medications (adjusted HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.38, 1.32).

    Conclusions and Implications
    Our data suggests a reduction in 30-day mortality following SARS-CoV-2 infection in residents who were on metformin-containing diabetes regimens. These findings suggest a relative survival benefit in nursing home residents on metformin, potentially through its mTOR inhibition effects. A prospective study should investigate the therapeutic benefits of metformin among persons with COVID-19.
