Short- and long-term prognosis of glycemic control in COVID-19 patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

To systematically evaluate the associations between glycemic control and short- to long-term outcomes in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Design and methods

A multi-center prospective cohort study including 574 COVID-19 patients with T2D was conducted in Wuhan, China. All patients were followed-up 1 year after hospital discharge using a uniformed questionnaire including self-reported symptoms, and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test items.

Results

Of the 574 patients, 443 (77.2%) had well-controlled blood glucose. Glycemic control was significantly associated with decreased risk of death [odds ratio (OR) 0.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.10-0.57], intensive care unit admission (OR 0.22
