Dysglycemias in patients admitted to ICUs with severe acute respiratory syndrome due to COVID-19 versus other causes - a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dysglycemias have been associated with worse prognosis in critically ill patients with COVID-19, but data on the association of dysglycemia with COVID-19 in comparison with other forms of severe acute respiratory syndrome are lacking. This study aimed to compare the occurrence of different glycemic abnormalities in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome and COVID-19 admitted to intensive care units versus glycemic abnormalities in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome from other causes, to evaluate the adjusted attributable risk associated with COVID-19 and dysglycemia and to assess the influence of these dysglycemias on mortality.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort of consecutive patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome and susp
