Article Synopsis
  • Diabetes is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases but exhibits a "diabetes paradox" in Takotsubo syndrome, where it may not negatively affect outcomes, although this remains debated.
  • In a study analyzing 1,226 Takotsubo syndrome patients, the prevalence of diabetes was found to be similar to that of the general population (17.0% vs. 15.8%).
  • The study concluded that diabetes does not have a protective effect in Takotsubo syndrome and may even be linked to higher in-hospital mortality rates, challenging the belief that diabetes could be beneficial in this context.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is not associated with increased mortality in critically ill patients, a phenomenon known as the "diabetes paradox". However, DM is a risk factor for increased mortality in patients with COVID-19. This study aims to investigate the association of DM and stress-induced hyperglycemia at intensive care unit (ICU) with mortality in this population.

Methods: Nationwide inpatient sample (NIS) was queried to extract patient information from January 1, 2009 to September 30, 2015. Propensity score matching (PSM) was done to compare mortality and other in-hospital outcomes.
