Abstract

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a threat to public health. People with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, are at a greater risk of severe diseases and death upon contracting this new disease. Due to the novelty of COVID-19, no specific information is available about the degree of its mortality and risk factors among diabetic patients. Therefore, this study aims to compare diabetic and nondiabetic COVID-19 patients regarding mortality rate, the need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission, invasive and noninvasive ventilation, and the associated risk factors.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study performed on the medical records of 650 adult COVID-19 patients (325 diabetics and 325 nondiabetics) admitted to Razi Hospital in Ahvaz from March 2020 to September 2020.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 61.3 years in the diabetic group and 52.3 years in the nondiabetic group. Men comprised 48.3% of the diabetic group and 59.7% of the nondiabetic group. Diabetic patients suffered from significantly more underlying diseases, such as ischemic heart disease (IHD), hypertension (HTN), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and acute renal failure (ARF) compared to the nondiabetic group ( < 0.0001). Also, when compared with the nondiabetic group, the diabetic group had a significantly higher mortality rate (17.5% vs. 12%;  = 0.047, respectively), more ICU admissions (35.4% vs. 27.7%;  = 0.035, respectively), and a greater need for invasive ventilation (17.5% vs. 11.4%;  = 0.026, respectively).

Conclusion: In diabetic patients, the mortality rate, need for ICU admission, and need for invasive ventilation were significantly higher than nondiabetic patients. Our logistic regression analysis in diabetic patients with COVID-19 showed that age, CKD, and ARF were the risk factors affecting mortality. In contrast, age and CKD were the risk factors affecting the rate of ICU admission, and CKD and ARF were the risk factors affecting the need for invasive ventilation.
