AI Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the link between statin use and COVID-19 outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who are at high risk for severe complications from both conditions.
- - In a nationwide study involving nearly 2,500 T2DM patients, those on statins had similar rates of tracheal intubation or death compared to non-users, but higher mortality rates were observed at 7 and 28 days post-admission.
- - The analysis showed that statin use was significantly associated with increased mortality rates among T2DM patients hospitalized with COVID-19, suggesting a need for careful consideration of statin treatment in this population.
Article Abstract
Aim: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent a high-risk population for both cardiovascular diseases and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Recent studies have reported interactions between statin treatment and COVID-19-related outcomes. The study reported here specifically assessed the association between routine statin use and COVID-19-related outcomes in inpatients with T2DM.
Methods: The Coronavirus-SARS-CoV-2 and Diabetes Outcomes (CORONADO) study was a nationwide observational study aiming to describe the phenotypic characteristics and prognosis of T2DM patients with COVID-19 admitted to 68 French hospitals between 10 March and 10 April 2020. The composite primary outcome comprised tracheal intubation and/or death within 7 and 28 days of admission. The association between statin use and outcomes was estimated by logistic regression analysis after applying inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) using a propensity score-weighting approach.
Results: Of the 2449 patients with T2DM (881 women, 1568 men; aged 70.9 ± 12.5 years) suitable for analysis, 1192 (49%) were using statin treatment before admission. In unadjusted analyses, patients using statins had rates of the primary outcome similar to those of non-users within both 7 (29.8% vs 27.0%, respectively; P = 0.1338) and 28 days (36.2% vs 33.8%, respectively; P = 0.2191) of admission. However, mortality rates were significantly higher in statin users within 7 (12.8% vs 9.8%, respectively; P = 0.02) and 28 days (23.9% vs 18.2%, respectively; P < 0.001). After applying IPTW, significant associations were observed with statin use and the primary outcome within 7 days (OR [95% CI]: 1.38 [1.04-1.83]) and with death within both 7 (OR [95% CI]: 1.74 [1.13-2.65]) and 28 days (OR [95% CI]: 1.46 [1.08-1.95]).
Conclusion: Routine statin treatment is significantly associated with increased mortality in T2DM patients hospitalized for COVID-19.

Background: The potential therapeutic role of magnesium (Mg) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains insufficiently studied despite its known involvement in critical processes like lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. This study examines the impact of Mg-focused nutritional education on lipid profile parameters, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in T2DM patients.
Methods: Thirty participants with T2DM were recruited for this within-subject experimental study.

Schwannomas are tumors that originate from the glial cells of the nervous system and can occur on myelinated nerve fibers throughout the body, especially in the craniofacial region. However, pancreatic schwannomas are extremely rare. We report a case of a pancreatic schwannoma that was difficult to differentiate from other pancreatic tumors preoperatively.

Chronic/heavy exposure with ethanol is associated with risk of type 2 diabetes, due to β-cells dysfunction. It has been reported that ethanol can induce oxidative stress directly or indirectly by involvement of mitochondria. We aimed to explore the protective effects of the crocin/gallic acid/L-alliin as natural antioxidants separately on ethanol-induced mitochondrial damage.
