Background and Objective: Hyperglycemia usually occurs in critically ill patients, including COVID-19 patients, and may be related to their prognosis. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to examine the severity of hyperglycemia in COVID-19 diabetic patients hospitalized at Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Hamadan in 2022 and its impact on their prognosis.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 378 patients with diabetes who were hospitalized due to confirmed cases of the novel corona virus (Covid-19) at Shahid Beheshti Hospital in 2021 were evaluated. These patients were assessed based on clinical and paraclinical findings, and the severity of the disease and outcomes were analyzed alongside their demographic and clinical characteristics. ANOVA was employed to compare the blood glucose status of patients based on age and length of hospital stay, while the chi-squared test was used to compare the blood glucose status of patients based on gender, type of ward, outcomes, underlying diseases, and the need for mechanical ventilation.
Results: Out of 1665 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, 378 (22.7%) were diagnosed with diabetes. Among the 378 patients, 215 (56.9%) were female, 331 (87.6%) were married, and 320 (84.7%) were residents of the city. The average age of the patients was 65.3 ± 12.5 years, blood glucose level was 220.2 ± 120.1milligrams per deciliter, and their hospital stay duration was 8.7 ± 5.9 days. Unfortunately, 96 patients (25.4%) succumbed to COVID-19 in the hospital. Of those, 116 (30.9%) had intensive blood glucose control, 60 (15.7%) had appropriate blood glucose control, 74 (19%) had poor control, and 128 (33%) had very poor control. Patients who passed away in the hospital had significantly worse controlled blood glucose levels compared to survivors (272.8 ± 158.6 vs. 202.3 ± 97.9 milligrams per deciliter) (P=0.001).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, hyperglycemia in COVID-19 patients is associated with an increased risk of mortality; therefore, it is necessary to monitor and manage blood sugar in these patients.
