Sex based disparities in glycemic control and hospitalization outcomes of medical patients with diabetes mellitus-a historical cohort study.

ABSTRACT: While sex differences in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are well-documented in outpatient settings, data on inpatient disparities remain limited. This study examines the relationship between sex and glycemic control, chronic treatment patterns, and hospitalization outcomes in patients with T2DM. A historical cohort of 5,133 adult T2DM patients hospitalized for > 24 h at a tertiary Israeli medical center in 2023 was analyzed. Outcomes included hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, length of stay, 30-day readmission, and mortality. Propensity score matching and multivariable regression were applied to adjust for confounding variables. Men were more frequently treated with chronic aspirin therapy than women (35.8% vs. 29.4%; p < 0.001), a difference that remained significant after multivariable adjus
