In addition, we performed a meta-analysis to synthesize currently relevant clinical studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective clinical study of 336 patients from 2 centers suggested that the use of anti-hypertensive drugs was related to a preferable OS (hazard ratio (HR)\u2009=\u20090.55, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.33\u20130.90) compared to non-users. For PFS, no significant correlation was detected (HR\u2009=\u20090.71, 95% CI: 0.49\u20131.03). Further analysis revealed that renin\u2013angiotensin system inhibitor (RASi) and calcium channel blocker (CCB) have a synergistic effect with ICIs. In addition, subgroup analysis found that the benefits of RASi or CCB in combination with ICIs are greater in women or patients \u2a7e65\u2009years of age. There was better disease control in lung cancer patients using RASi, and a significantly longer OS was observed in patients with gastrointestinal tumors taking CCB. Meta-analysis suggested that anti-hypertensive drugs were associated with improved OS, but only the combination of RASi and immunotherapy showed a synergistic effect. No significant correlation with OS was found for other anti-hypertensive drugs, and there was no overall positive effect on PFS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study found that use of anti-hypertensive drugs, particularly RASi or CCB, was associated with improved OS in patients undergoing immunotherapy. The synergistic effects of RASi or CCB with ICIs were more pronounced in females or elderly. RASi or CCB exhibited different benefits in various types of tumors.
