Glucometabolic changes influence hospitalization and outcome in patients with COVID-19: An observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The aim was to report the prevalence of diabetes status in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and assess the association between the glucometabolic status at admission and 90-day mortality.

Methods

Consecutive patients hospitalized with COVID-19 were included in the study. All participants included had an HbA_1c measurement 60 days prior to or within 7 days after admission. We studied the association between diabetes status, the glycemic gap (difference between admission and habitual status), admission plasma-glucose, and mortality using Cox proportional hazards regression.

Results

Of 674 patients included, 114 (17%) had normal glucose level, 287 (43%) had pre-diabetes, 74 (11%) had new-onset, and 199 (30%) had diagnosed diabetes. No association betwee
