COVID-19 and Diabetes - Prevalence and Prognosis: A Single-Center Experience
Abstract
Aim: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of diabetes in COVID-19 patients and the effect of diabetes on the course of COVID-19 disease.
Material and Methods: Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 disease in Istanbul Sancaktepe Martyr Prof. Dr. Ilhan Varank Training and Research Hospital between 01/06/2020 and 30/10/2020 were included in the study. Medical records of patients were analyzed from the hospital information management system. We examined medical history, PCR test results, blood test results, computerised tomography
reports, hospitalization and treatment results.
Results: 2414 patients, 1145 females and 1269 males were included in the study. The diabetes prevalence in the whole group was 18.6%. The rate of hospitalization and the rate of admission to intensive care unit was significantly higher in diabetics than non-diabetics. In the diabetic group; total length of stay in hospital and intensive care unit was significiantly higher. The rate of presence of pneumonia on
tomography was significantly higher in diabetics. The mortality rate was significiantly higher in diabetics than non-diabetics.
Conclusion: We found the prevalence of diabetes in COVID-19 patients to be 18.6%. The rate of presence of pneumonia on thorax CT, the rate of hospitalization and the rate of admission to the intensive care unit were found to be significantly higher in diabetics. The mortality rate was found to be higher in COVID-19 patients with diabetes. Diabetes mellitus may lead to worse clinical outcomes in
COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 may be more mortal in diabetic patients.
