Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of glycemic control on COVID-19 outcomes in diabetic patients, focusing on factors like hyperglycemia, inflammation, and clinical history.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 291 diabetic patients, finding that high blood glucose levels at admission and poor kidney function significantly increased the risk of mortality and longer hospital stays.
- Interestingly, while hyperglycemia directly correlated with higher mortality, certain inflammatory markers showed indirect effects, and a higher basophil count appeared to be protective against mortality.
The aim of the present study was to simultaneously assess several potential predictors of outcome (co-morbidity, previous and in-hospital treatment, radiologic Brixia score) in patients with COVID-19. This retrospective cohort study included 258 consecutive patients with confirmed COVID-19 admitted to a medical ward at Montichiari Hospital, Brescia, Italy from February 28th to April 30rd, 2020. Patients had SARS-CoV-2 related pneumonia with respiratory failure, and were treated with hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir plus ritonavir.
