Risk factors and outcomes associated with diabetes mellitus in COVID-19 patients: a meta-analytic synthesis of observational studies.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We carried out a meta-analytic synthesis to evaluate the association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and related clinical outcomes, co-morbidities, their risk factors and resource utilization in patients with COVID-19.

Methods

The MEDLINE and Web of Science databases were reviewed for identification of eligible studies. Meta-analysis was carried out using Review Manager 5.3. The random- effects model was used to compute the pooled estimates of odds ratio (OR)/mean difference and 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results

A total of 14 studies including 3,644 individuals without DM and 1,428 with DM were included in the meta-analysis. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) [OR 2.91, 95% CI 2.34, 3.63], hypertension [OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.39, 3.46], acute kidney injury (AKI) [OR
