Chronic dysglycemia and risk of SARS-CoV-2 associated respiratory failure in hospitalized patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes is common among patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-induced respiratory failure. We aimed to investigate the relationship between different stages of chronic dysglycemia and development of respiratory failure in hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 positive patients.

Methods

In this retrospective observational study, we included 385 hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 positive patients at Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden with an HbA1c test obtained within 3 months before admission. Based on HbA1c level and previous diabetes history, we classified patients into the following dysglycemia categories: prediabetes, unknown diabetes, controlled diabetes, or uncontrolled diabetes. We used multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted fo
