Risk factors for severe outcomes in people with diabetes hospitalised for COVID-19: a cross-sectional database study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study's objective was to assess the risk of severe in-hospital complications of patients admitted for COVID-19 and diabetes mellitus (DM).

Design

This was a cross-sectional study.

Settings

We used pseudonymised medical record data provided by six general hospitals from the HM Hospitales group in Spain.

Outcome measures

Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to identify variables associated with mortality and the composite of mortality or invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in the overall population, and stratified for the presence or absence of DM. Spline analysis was conducted on the entire population to investigate the relationship between glucose levels at admission and outcomes.

Results

Overall, 1621 individuals without DM and 448
