Association of diabetes and outcomes in patients with COVID-19: Propensity score-matched analyses from a French retrospective cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Our study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of patients with and without diabetes admitted to hospital with COVID-19.

Methods

This retrospective multicentre cohort study comprised 24 tertiary medical centres in France, and included 2851 patients (675 with diabetes) hospitalized for COVID-19 between 26 February and 20 April 2020. A propensity score-matching (PSM) method (1:1 matching including patients' characteristics, medical history, vital statistics and laboratory results) was used to compare patients with and without diabetes (n = 603 per group).

Results

After PSM, all baseline characteristics were well balanced between those with and without diabetes: mean
